Big plays in special teams don’t happen without all 11 players doing their jobs. That fact was evident on Jamal Agnew’s 88-yard punt return touchdown in the fourth quarter Monday night against the New York Giants. The play helped seal Detroit’s 24-10 victory.
“To be honest what was going through my mind was, ‘Don’t let the long snapper tackle me and don’t let the punter tackle me,’” Agnew said after the game. “Thankfully I made them miss, like I said I have to shout out the punt return squad, they all held their blocks and it was a team effort.
