Lions star Aidan Hutchinson suffered a knee injury while celebrating a sack
Aidan Hutchinson dragged down quarterback Drake Maye to cut short the New England Patriots’ opening possession Sunday in. Germany. The sack forced Mike Vrabel to send his field goal team into the game, ending what was a promising drive for the Patriots to start the game.
