DETROIT — Anquan Boldin faked Sean Davis off the line, made a short catch and turned it into a longer gain by breaking a tackle and dragging a defender.
The Detroit Lions receiver fooled Pittsburgh Steelers safety by taking a jab step to the right and going left to create space. The veteran then lowered his left shoulder a few yards later to knock the rookie to the ground.
Another veteran, Steelers safety Mike Mitchell, did get Boldin down after he was carried down the field by him for about 10 yards.
Boldin made the most of a limited opportunity to make plays in his Detroit debut, making one impressive reception for 30 yards in a 30-17 preseason win Friday night in Pittsburgh.
