Detroit Lions left tackle Taylor Decker had never scored a touchdown in his playing career, so please forgive him if he didn’t know how to react when he reached paydirt on a third-quarter trick play that brought Detroit in striking distance of a huge upset over the Los Angeles Rams.
“I’ve been playing football since first grade, always been an o-lineman,” Decker said after the game. “So for my first touchdown to come as a left tackle in the NFL is pretty damn cool.”
The thrill of the moment got the better of him.
