The 2018 season could not have gotten off to a better start for the Detroit Lions.
Quandre Diggs jumped an ill-advised pass from New York Jets rookie quarterback Sam Darnold on the first play of the season. He darted down the sideline, slaloming between two Jets offensive linemen, and somersaulted into the endzone before running to the backwall and parade in front of fans alongside linebacker Christian Jones.
Ford Field erupted. The broadcast caught Lions players bouncing in euphoria on the sideline. Our own Jeremy Reisman, who was in the press box that day, even let out a yelp in celebration, breaking regular press box decorum.
