DETROIT -- Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Breshad Perriman may not have raced into the same Detroit Lions' end zone that his father Brett Perriman did at the old Pontiac Silverdome, but as Perriman put it, scoring a career-high three touchdowns at Ford Field on Sunday "meant a lot to our story."
He revealed after the game that Brett, who starred at the University of Miami and played six seasons with the Lions from 1991-1996, along with stints with the New Orleans Saints, Kansas City Chiefs and Miami Dolphins, has been battling dementia after nearly losing his life from a stroke in 2016.
