Winners: Golden Tate, Detroit Lions

Think the Seattle Seahawks might be missing Golden Tate a little?

In an early game (really, really early) in London, the Detroit Lions came back from a 21-point deficit in large part through the efforts of Tate who finished the day with seven catches for 151 yards and a touchdown.

Overall, Tate has been a big help to an offense which really misses Calvin Johnson, who was out again this weekend. He’s had over 100 yards four of the last five games, the last two of which have been 150+ yard games.

Tate has been one of the best signings anyone has made this offseason, and is a big part of the reason that the Lions are 6-2 and on top of the NFC North.
