Lions had just lost a big contract due to…
The last four plays of the Lions’ regular season were four straight passes to wide receiver Josh Reynolds, who needed 36 yards on the day to earn a quarter million incentive bonus. Kudos to the players and coaches for knowing that and making sure a key player on offense like Reynolds got his bonus. Quarterback Jared Goff fed Reynolds for a 9-yard pass, then an 8-yarder, a 2-yarder and a 7-yarder to end the game. Reynolds finished with five receptions for 44 yards.
It looked like a tennis match the way the Lions and Vikings were exchanging touchdowns at one point in the second half. The first strike – a 38-yard TD pass to Justin Jefferson with 20 seconds left in the third quarter. Next, the reply from Goff – a 70-yard TD St. Brown totaled seven receptions for 144 yards (20.6 avg.) and one touchdown vs. the Vikings Sunday. He finished the season with 119 receptions for 1,515 yards (12.7 avg.) and 10 touchdowns. He and Herman Moore (1995) are the only players in franchise history with a 100-catch, 1,000-yard and 10-touchdown season on their resume.
Detroit’s defense recorded 4.0 sacks, six tackles for loss and an amazing 15 quarterback hits against Minnesota Week 18. Pro Bowler Aidan Hutchinson led the way with two sacks giving him 11.5 on the season. He also chipped in three tackles for loss and five quarterback hits. Detroit will be looking for similar disruption Sunday night vs.
