Lions WRs were feast or famine on TD receptions in 2019

The Detroit Lions had one receiver who feasted on the NFL in touchdown catches, but another who starved to make the end zone in 2019.

No NFL wide receiver had a higher percentage of receptions that resulted in touchdowns than Kenny Golladay. His 11 receiving TDs (on 65 receptions) led the NFL, too.

Only one receiver had a worse TD percentage among those with enough qualifying receptions (36) than Golladay’s teammate, Danny Amendola.

Here’s the kicker: Amendola scored his one touchdown reception on the season before Golladay caught any of his 11. It came in the Week 1 tie with Arizona, on the veteran slot receiver’s second catch of the season. Amendola caught 60 more without scoring on any of them.
