DETROIT -- Observed and heard in the locker room after the Detroit Lions' 24-23 win over the New Orleans Saints.
Corey Fuller had never been in that spot before. He scored his first career NFL touchdown, and after, he became very popular. When asked if his phone was “blowing up,” Fuller deadpanned: “Yes. I feel it in my pocket.”
Lions coach Jim Caldwell said he did not bench running back Reggie Bush, after he played only a handful of snaps in the second half in favor of Joique Bell. Caldwell said Bush was still struggling with the ankle injury that kept him out of last Sunday’s game at Minnesota, so he stuck with Bell. After the game, Bush declined to speak with the media.
Calvin Johnson was seen leaving the Detroit locker room after the Lions’ win, but he wouldn’t give any indication whether he’d play next week against Atlanta. When asked by a reporter if he thought he’d play, he said, “maybe” as he was walking away.
