It’s always a treat when fans get to see a big man get the ball in the open field. Lions fans in Ford Field got treated to one of the biggest players on the team rumbling and rolling on a fumble recovery early in the Week 15 matchup against the Broncos.
Lions defensive tackle Isaiah Buggs, all 6-foot-3 and 335 pounds of him, scooped up a fumble and rambled 37 yards in the open field to set up the offense. Ifeatu Melifonwu created the fumble with a picture-perfect safety blitz that strip-sacked Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson.
Check out the big man chugging down the field!
