DETROIT ? There was a familiar face, a local face down on the gridiron at Ford Field Sunday afternoon.
Zach Line, a 2008 graduate of Oxford High School, returned to his home state to play in his first regular season National Football League game as a fullback for the Minnesota Vikings.
The 6-1, 233-pound Line caught an 8-yard pass against Detroit.
Unfortunately for Line, he couldn’t celebrate his first regular season NFL victory as the Lions beat Minnesota 34-24.
