Abdullah ran for 15 yards on five carries in Sunday's win over the Packers. He added a seven-yard reception during the game.
Just a few days after new offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter promised a larger role in the Lions' offense for Abdullah, the rookie saw his third consecutive game with single-digit touches. Abdullah turned heads during Sunday's game, exploding for a 104-yard kickoff return, tied for the longest non-scoring return in NFL history, to open up the second half and set Detroit up for a touchdown. On offense, however, Abdullah was much less impressive, being held under 30 total yards for the fourth time this season.
