On a record night, Lions kicker Jake Bates becomes an internet meme
Monday night was an eventful evening for Detroit Lions kicker Jake Bates, both on and off the field. During the Lions’ 40-34 victory over the San Francisco 49ers at Levi’s Stadium, Bates set a franchise record for the most points scored in a season (135), surpassing the 134 scored by former kicker Jason Hanson in 2012.
