NOTEBOOK: Killebrew really coming along in second year

Miles Killebrew has a motto he likes to follow: “As long as you’re doing your job, the plays will come.”

The second-year safety is living by that motto early on this year, and as a result, he has been an integral part of Detroit’s fourth-ranked scoring defense early on this season.

Killebrew already has one interception on the year, and could have had another last Sunday in Minnesota, but he dropped it. He lamented the missed opportunity when speaking to reporters on Monday, but also admitted that last year, he probably wouldn’t have even been in a position to make that play.
