Week 11 of the NFL is in the books and alumni of the University of Illinois continue to put in work. None came up with a play as decisive as the game-ending interception made by Detroit Lion Tavon Wilson on a desperation drive by the Jacksonville Jaguars. Up a touchdown with eight seconds to go, the Lions defense looked to stop Blake Bortles from moving into Hail Mary range on 3rd and 10. He threw behind Marqise Lee, bouncing the ball off his foot. Tavon Wilson swooped in to catch the deflected ball, locking up the game for the Lions, who now share first place in the NFC North with their Thanksgiving guests, the Minnesota Vikings.
