FLASHBACK: Anquan Boldin hauls in final career touchdown with Lions


With the unexpected news that receiver Anquan Boldin decided to retire just days after signing with the Buffalo Bills, that means the last regular season game Boldin played in his career was with the Detroit Lions.

Boldin’s 14-year career saw him play with Arizona, Baltimore and San Francisco and ended with one season in Detroit last year. He had 67 catches for 584 yards for the Lions, leading the team with eight touchdown grabs.

The final score of Boldin’s career came on a 57-yard Hail Mary from [amazon_textlink asin=’B01N2JF0M7′ text=’Matthew Stafford’ template=’ProductLink’ store=’fandriven-20′ marketplace=’US’ link_id=’cf0531ea-e7f4-11e7-ab8c-3bc8f463289b’] near the end of the season finale against the Green Bay Packers at Ford Field. Here is a video of that memory. Enjoy.

Thanks for the memories, Anquan!
