Lions offensive lineman Dan Skipper catches touchdown pass as eligible receiver

No offensive coordinator in the NFL enjoys putting the ball in the hands of his offensive lineman like Detroit’s Ben Johnson. And he did it in a big moment today against the Bills.

Lions offensive lineman Dan Skipper lined up as an eligible tight end in the second quarter today, the Bills’ defense let him get behind them, and Jared Goff hit Skipper for a nine-yard touchdown pass.

Skipper was the offensive lineman officials claimed had reported as an eligible receiver in the Lions’ controversial loss to the Cowboys last year, when a Detroit score was overturned because officials said the Lions improperly reported a tackle qualified. This time there was no doubt.

There has also been no doubting Josh Allen and the Bills offense as they have been unstoppable so far and it’s 21-14 Bills.
