Lions' Decker looking for keepsake after throwing 1st TD ball into stands

Detroit Lions offensive tackle Taylor Decker let his excitement get the better of him after scoring his first career touchdown against the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday.

The 25-year-old third-year pro scored on an 11-yard reception from quarterback Matthew Stafford. Caught up in the moment, Decker tossed the ball into the stands in celebration.

"That's my first-ever touchdown," Decker said postgame, according to Michael Rothstein of ESPN. "Been playing football since first grade, always been an O-lineman. So for my first touchdown to come as a left tackle in the NFL is pretty d--- cool.

"And I think I threw a duck into the stands. So whatever fan has that ball, I'd like it back."

Decker also took to social media following the Lions' 30-16 loss to request the return of his would-be trophy case staple, telling fans he'd be "more than happy to make it worth your while."

To whoever caught/has the football I threw into the crowd. I've played football since first grade, and that was my first ever touchdown. I would love to have that football. I'd be more than happy to make it worth your while if you'd consider returning that to me. Thank you!!
