The chemistry, by now, is obvious between Detroit Lions rookie tight end T.J. Hockenson and quarterback Matthew Stafford.
Hockenson has rarely dropped a ball that Stafford and thrown his way in a training camp. On Tuesday, he made a nice play at the goal that on a touchdown pass from Stafford.
In the second of three joint practices with the New England Patriots, the Lions worked on a situational drill, starting a drive from the Pats’ 43-yard line, down four points and needing a touchdown.
