Abdullah rushed nine times for a career-high 77 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's win over the Saints.
Abdullah also caught two passes (on two targets) for 12 yards, but lost a fumble during Monday's game. Despite committing a turnover, the rookie should generally be pleased by his performance, as Monday not only marked Abdullah's best rushing output yet, but also the first time he scored a touchdown since his first career carry back in Week 1. In addition to Abdullah's 15-yard touchdown run, the Lions' ground game racked up 150 total yards, an improvement that bodes well heading into Sunday's upcoming game against the 49ers.
