Detroit Lions tight ends had such a big day on Sunday, you'd be mistaken for believing today for National Tight End Day. That's a few weeks away, as the football holiday always falls on the fourth Sunday of October.
TEs Sam LaPorta and Brock Wright each made an impact on the Lions' 37-24 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals. For LaPorta, it was a long-awaited breakout performance after a relatively quiet start for the former Second-Team All-Pro TE.
Laporta hauled in five receptions for 92 yards and a touchdown. The 10-yard TD reception capped off a quick seven-play opening drive score.
