Offense was tough to come by in the first half of the Detroit Lions visit to Tampa Bay against the Buccaneers. Someone needed to light a spark and change the dynamic.
Enter Craig Reynolds.
The Lions running back made a phenomenal, effective, high-effort block that sprung wideout Amon-Ra St. Brown for the game’s first touchdown. Reynolds hustled from way out of the play to steamroll two Buccaneers defenders and clear a path up the right sideline for St. Brown to score.
This is grit personified from No. 13:

This TD is a thing of beauty 🙌
