I've got several but Eric Hipple's first career start sticks out to me. MNF vs Bears 1981. Lions won 48-17.
Hipple connected on 14-25 for 336 yards and 4 passing TD's. Plus he rushed for 2 more TD's.
Loved his toughness and I thought the Lions had their qb. Of course, after that he was mediocre. But that game had me really pumped and with Billy Sims I thought they finally had something. 35 years later and I am still waiting.
