Lions backup tight end Joseph Fauria had a big NFL debut Sunday in Week 1 against the Vikings, as he emerged as a red-zone threat in a 34-24 win.
Quarterback Matthew Stafford looked Fauria's way three times, including once with the Lions set up at the 1-yard line. Fauria brought in all three passes, including a 1-yard touchdown pass. He finished with 27 receiving yards on the day.
Fauria, an undrafted free agent out of UCLA, will try to prove this wasn't a fluke when the Lions head to Arizona in Week 2.
