Trevor Nowaske Makes Mark with First NFL Interception for Detroit Lions

Trevor Nowaske, a linebacker for the Detroit Lions, made a significant impact in the team’s recent game against the Tennessee Titans. On October 27, 2024, Nowaske intercepted a pass from Titans quarterback Mason Rudolph, marking his first NFL interception.

The interception occurred under heavy pressure on Rudolph, who attempted to force a pass instead of taking a sack. Nowaske’s interception was crucial as it set up a scoring opportunity for the Lions. Following the turnover, the Lions drove down the field, with running back David Montgomery scoring a touchdown on a seven-yard run, giving the Lions a 7-0 lead.

This play highlighted Nowaske’s growing contribution to the Lions’ defense. The linebacker, who stands at 6-3 and weighs 237 pounds, is in his first season with the Lions after playing college football at Saginaw Valley State.

The game also saw other notable events, including an injury to Lions player Malcolm Rodriguez, who was carted to the locker room after limping to the sideline following the kickoff.
