Detroit Lions safety Thomas Harper undercuts New York Giants quarterback Jameis Winston's play-action pass and snags the interception, flipping possession and giving the Lions' offense a short field.
Giants quarterback Jameis Winston threw what looked like a screen pass to little-used receiver Gunner Olszewski, and Olszewski then threw it to Winston down the left side of the field for a 33-yard touchdown. It was the first pass Winston has caught in his NFL career and the first pass Olszewski has thrown in his.
This is a case where the box score and the film tell two very different stories. Jared Goff attempted 42 passes and threw for 279 yards, but there were many times where it felt like Detroit could not move the ball against New York’s defense. Jack Fox punted five times and Jake Bates kicked two field goals.
Jameis Winston shook off a Lions defender to make it into the end zone himself on Sunday afternoon in Detroit.
