ALLEN PARK, Mich. — The Lions capped their two-minute drill against the Giants’ defense on Tuesday with a touchdown pass from Matt Stafford to Marvin Jones Jr. in the end zone. Or did they?
While the completion counted in the context of a joint practice, where players were instructed to avoid as many collisions as possible, Giants safety Curtis Riley was in position to deliver a hit on Jones. And in a real game, he would have.
“Oh yeah,” he said, his eyes still wide open at the sight of the receiver jumping up in front of him.
