WIDE RECEIVER GOLDEN TATE

Now in his fifth season in Detroit, we really shouldn't be surprised by the production we've seen from Tate so far this year. He did catch at least 90 passes in each of his first four seasons in Detroit.

Tate leads the team in catches (33), yards (431) and is tied with Golladay for the team lead in touchdown receptions with three.

Tate catches the football in the short, intermediate and deep part of the field. He consistently ranks among the league leaders in yards after the catch. His 205 yards after the catch this season leads all receivers and is fourth in the NFL overall.

He also isn't afraid to stick his shoulder into a defender in the run game as a blocker. It was his goal line block that sprung LeGarrette Blount for his second one-yard touchdown run last week.

In Tate, the Lions have one of the most complete receivers in the game.

"We're just doing our jobs and Jim Bob is doing a good job drawing up plays to get us the ball and No. 9 (Matthew Stafford) is doing a great job of slinging it, but it starts with the offensive linemen," Tate said.
