Allen Park — The Detroit Lions have been cleaning up on weekly awards this season. On Wednesday, wide receiver and return man Kalif Raymond became the team's fifth player to earn player of the week honors after he was named the NFC's Special Teams Player of the Week for his performance against the New York Jets.
In Detroit's 20-17 victory, Raymond scored the first special teams touchdown of his career, returning a punt 47 yards in the opening quarter to put the Lions up, 7-0. He also had a pair of blocks as a return man that prevented Jets defenders from downing the ball inside the 5-yard line, resulting in touchbacks.
