DETROIT (AP) ¡ª The Detroit Lions won at Arizona for the first
time since
1993

pair of also-rans.For Zach Zenner, though, it was a day to remember.Zenner was
the only offensive player to reach the end zone Sunday in Detroit¡¯s 17-3 victory
, and he led the Lions in rushing with 54 yards on 12 carries. Detroit is still
a longshot to reach the playoffs, but Zenner could have a lot to play for down
the stretch. With Kerryon Johnson out injured, Zenner is trying to make the most
of his opportunities.¡°It¡¯s just fun to get to run the ball again. I like running
the ball
Austin Bryant
Detroit Lions Jersey ,¡± Zenner said after the game. ¡°Fun to be behind a
good offensive line and to have those holes open up like that. Those guys are
doing a great job. I really enjoyed the opportunity and let¡¯s keep rolling and
get a few more wins.¡±Zenner rushed for 334 yards during the 2016 season for the
Lions, but he¡¯s played sparingly since then. He hurt his back in this year¡¯s
preseason finale and was waived in September, but he was back with the team by
mid-November.Johnson, a dynamic rookie from Auburn, has helped rejuvenate
Detroit¡¯s previously anemic running game, but he¡¯s missed three straight games
with a knee injury. That¡¯s left

threats.¡°I think Zach, again, he¡¯s one of those guys that does a phenomenal job
of just preparing and being ready to go, whatever the situation is,¡± coach Matt
Patricia said Monday. ¡°He goes out and plays a lot of special teams for us and
he does a lot of different things that can help us win or can help us win in
special teams and also on the offensive side of the ball.¡±Detroit (5-8) took a
10-0 lead over the Cardinals in the third quarter, when Darius Slay returned an
interception 67 yards for a touchdown. The only other TD came on Zenner¡¯s 1-yard
run with 4:05 left in the game.The Lions won despite gaining only 218 yards.¡°I¡¯m
just excited to come away with a win. I think everybody has different views on
what they think is exciting from
football

battle, I like all of it. So, I think back in the day when I was growing up, SEC
football used to be like 7-3 and I thought those were exciting, I thought they
were great games.
So

Tabor Jersey , it doesn¡¯t really matter however the game goes, you just
have to try to find a way to win.¡±Detroit quarterback Matthew Stafford passed
for only 101 yards, his lowest output since the 2010 season opener, when he left
with an injury. The Lions were able to win anyway thanks to their defense ¡ª and
the contributions of players such as Zenner.¡°He like everyone else is battling
through things at this moment health-wise and doing a great job of being really
effective,¡± Stafford said. ¡°Part of what makes him a really good football player
is he¡¯s always ready to go. He¡¯s always ready to go, he¡¯s locked into his game
plan and did a great job of hitting some runs right where they needed to hit.¡±

dandy distribution map:Will this league turn into the NFL farm system that it
appears it¡¯s desperately trying to become? Or will the league fail to gain
traction like the football leagues that have come before it? Regardless of its
eventual fate, the league does bring a lot of intrigue. Besides being perfectly
timed after the week of the Super Bowl, the AAF is also trying out a bunch of
new rules that some fans have been waiting for years to see in the NFL. The
elimination of the kickoff and extra points, a sky judge that will be able to
activate a challenge at any time¡ªand will be able to review pass interference in
the last five minutes of the game. Add in a bunch of talent that just missed out
on the NFL, and you¡¯ve got a league that at least looks feasible on the surface.
Will the league pan out? Let¡¯s watch together.The games start at 8 p.m. ET on
CBS.
