Lions’ T.J. Hockenson Makes Incredible Catch and Run

 


















T.J. Hockenson flexes after a catch.

 

The Detroit Lions should have won during Week 1 of their NFL season, but they’re wasting little time flexing their offensive muscle in Week 2.

Early on against the Green Bay Packers, the Lions got a huge catch and run by tight end T.J. Hockenson to help set them up and keep them on the move. Hockenson was initially bottled up on the play in the second level, but used his leg drive and strength to press forward and pick up extra yardage.



A few plays later, the Lions paid things off by ramming Kerryon Johnson into the end zone for an early 7-0 lead. Detroit would yield a field goal on their next defensive drive, but manage to maintain the lead early on in the first quarter.

 

Hockenson put up 56 yards and a score last week, and has looked like one of the team’s top emerging weapons. If the Lions can keep feeding Hockenson, he will make their offense tough to stop.
