Lions' Taylor Decker tweets that he got his football back

Allen Park — Taylor Decker has his ball back.

The Lions offensive tackle tweeted late Wednesday that he retrieved the ball from a fan after he threw it into the stands during a Dec. 2 loss to the Los Angeles Rams.

“I can confirm that I’ve got my ball back,” Decker tweeted on Wednesday night.

Decker faked a block and glided into the end zone, catching a wide-open touchdown pass — the only one of his entire football career — in the 30-16 loss.

Caught up in the moment, he heaved the ball into the stands after the 11-yard score.
