Stratford’s Cephus pulls down big TD pass

          Quintez Cephus has been on and off Detroit’s game-day roster, but has fared pretty well when given the chance.

          He finally hit paydirt on Sunday, hauling in a 49-yard touchdown pass from Matthew Stafford, making an athletic catch after some improvising from Stafford during the play.

          Detroit won 34-30.

          The Stratford grad now has 14 catches for 237 yards and a score.

          It was good timing, because the Lions made a move a few days earlier that put some focus in his direction.
