Detroit Lions offensive tackle Dan Skipper caught a pass for a touchdown during Sunday's NFL game against Buffalo.
It happened with a little over three minutes left in the third quarter. The Bills had a 21-7 lead but the Lions drove into the red zone on offense. With 2nd and 4 on the Bills 9-yard line, Skipper reported himself as an eligible receiver. As Lions QB Jared Goff took the snap, Skipper held his block for a second, then headed out to the flat. Goff threw to a wide-open Skipper, who caught the ball on the 8-yard line and ran towards the pylon. Skipper managed to cross the plane of the goal line before being hit, giving him the "thicc-six".

Watching big men with the ball is fun because they don't get those opportunities too often. Skipper definitely made the most of his opportunity today.
The touchdown (and extra point) cut the Bills lead to 21-14. However, the Bills offense could not be stopped as they won in a shootout, 48-42.
