More powerful than a locomotive. Able to take out two defenders in single bound.

Look! Barreling down the field!

It's a bird.

It's a plane.

It's Craig Reynolds!

The Detroit Lions' running back came sprinting in from 10 yards behind Amon-Ra St. Brown to help clear the wide receiver's path for a 27-yard touchdown.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers' defense thought it had St. Brown completely cornered before the [one-man] calvary arrived and de-cleated Carlton Davis III. The Bucs' cornerback went tumbling into his own teammate, safety Antoine Winfield.

Winfield was forced to hurdle Davis, and that created the sliver of daylight that St. Brown needed to take it to the house. It was St. Brown's first game back since an abdomen injury held him out of the team's Week 5 win over the Carolina Panthers.

Reynolds had his best game of the season in the 20-6 win, carrying the ball seven times for 52 yards and his second touchdown of the season.
