The pick-six was nice, something he'll always remember, but Miles Killebrew's most important play came much earlier in Sunday's season-opening win over the Arizona Cardinals.
Late in a lackluster first quarter, with the Cardinals threatening to take a two-touchdown lead, Killebrew made a red-zone tackle on a screen pass to Jermaine Gresham that he might not have been in position to last year.
The Cardinals had just gotten a fresh set of downs after a Lions penalty, and on third-and-goal from the 2-yard line, they tried to take advantage of the Lions' aggressive defense.
