Ameer Abdullah ties NFL record with 104-yard kickoff return vs. Packers
-- GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Ameer Abdullah tied an NFL record Sunday afternoon -- and it is one that could be tough to top.

Entering Sunday's game against the Green Bay Packers, Abdullah averaged 28.21 yards per return for the Lions.
