description

Standout Detroit defensive back Ifeatu Melifonwu never gave up on this play. After quickly getting into the backfield on a blitz, Melifonwu's first attempt at the sack was thwarted, but he got back up and made his way back to the quarterback a second time to help bring him down for a four-yard loss. Melifonwu tallied nine tackles and one-and-a-half sacks in this one, as the Lions beat the Buccaneers, 31-23, in the Divisional Round on Jan. 21, 2024.
