Not Your Average Game

As usual, the Lions are in another season of rebuilding and not in playoff contention. In week 16, the Detriot Lions faced off against the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field. The final box score may seem like it was a defensive game with the Packers winning 17 to 9. However, a certain Lion decided to show up when the rest of the team didn't. As the game started off it was no question that the Lions were targeting their Superstar TE. Out routes, drags, corner routes you name it he caught them all. The Green Bay secondary could not cover Hockenson throughout the day as he ended with 283 yards and one touchdown recieving. These stats may seem average for todays star filled league, but Hockenson also brought in 17 receptions. This stat puts T.J. Hockenson, tied for 7th place on the all time single game record for recpetions. Watch out next year becasue big things are to come for the Lions and their young studs.
