It hasn’t been a game with many highlights for the Detroit Lions, but T.J. Hockenson gave the Ford Field fans something to cheer about.
On the final play of the thrid quarter against the Seattle Seahawks, Lions QB Jared Goff hooked up with Hockenson for an 81-yard catch and run that set up the Lions deep in Seattle’s red zone.
