Watching the Detroit Lions on Sunday against the Steelers in the comfort of home, stands or press box, you would not have wanted to be Ike Taylor in that second quarter.
That is when the Megatron he was covering, Calvin Johnson, caught five passes for 163 yards and two touchdowns. It is when Taylor dropped two easy interceptions. It is when Taylor committed a pass interference penalty in the end zone and a holding penalty that was declined because the man he was holding, Johnson, still caught the ball for a 22-yard reception.
In the process of all that, the Steelers’ 14-0 lead turned into a 27-20 Detroit halftime lead.
Anyone else might not have wanted to be Taylor in that quarter … except Taylor............
