Detroit Lions’ D’Andre Swift falls, gets up then jukes out Washington Commanders’ defense for 22-yard TD

DETROIT — Detroit Lions running back D’Andre Swift elicited memories of another franchise great, Barry Sanders, with a 22-yard touchdown reception with 1:28 remaining in the third quarter against the Washington Commanders on Sunday.

Swift regained his balance after falling to the ground while making a short catch from quarterback Jared Goff and ran into the end zone, juking multiple defenders along the way, for the score.

In the opening quarter, Swift also broke free for a 50-yard gain.

Swift was originally listed as questionable to play due to an ankle injury and had missed two practices this week, but got the start Sunday.
