Taylor Decker takes to Twitter with request for Detroit Lions fan who has his ball
On Sunday, the Detroit Lions predictably lost to the Los Angeles Rams at Ford Field in a game that was actually much closer than many thought it would be.
But was not predictable is what happened with just over three minutes left in the 3rd quarter.
That’s when Lions offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter opened up the playbook, allowing offensive tackle Taylor Decker to catch his first touchdown pass…ever.
Following the touchdown catch, which cut the Lions deficit to three, Decker threw the ball into the stands.

Ndamukong Suh on Stafford hit: “It’s been a long time coming”
Plenty was made of Los Angeles Rams defensive tackle and former Detroit Lion Ndamukong Suh making his return to Detroit for the first time as a member of the opposition. Fans were also anxious to see how he’d perform against quarterback Matthew Stafford.

With time ticking away in the Rams’ 30-16 victory, Suh shoved Stafford to the ground. Stafford was slammed to his stomach and then helped up by his teammates, while Suh earned himself roughing the passer penalty. To nobody’s surprise, a chorus of boos rained down at Ford Field from the fans that remained behind. And you knew that Suh definitely would take notice.
