Lions offensive lineman Dan Skipper catches touchdown pass as eligible receiver

No NFL offensive coordinator 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 the 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 the officials said the Lions improperly reported a tackle eligible. This time, there was no doubt.

There’s also been no doubt about Josh Allen and the Bills’ offense, as they’ve been unstoppable so far, and it’s 21-14 Bills.
