Aidan Hutchinson only had one sack in the Week 12 win over the New York Giants, but the Detroit Lions edge rusher's sack was the one that sealed the deal.
After the Lions took the lead in overtime following yet another electric touchdown run by Jahmyr Gibbs, the Giants had an opportunity to tie the game.
However, their attempt was thwarted by Hutchinson, who notched a sack on the drive that led to a turnover on downs and a win for the Lions.
After the game, Giants offensive lineman Jermaine Eluemunor made it sound like the Lions star didn't do much on Sunday outside of that game-sealing sack, which he was responsible for giving up.
“How do I say this respectfully: He did not do a damn thing all f****** game," he said, per The Athletic's Dan Duggan. "He strikes me as the type of guy that would try to celebrate that one play, but for most of the day I was on an island with him and he didn’t do anything.
"Obviously, I’m pissed about the last play, but at the same time, there’s not much you can do. They know what you’re going to do and he still tries to give me his best move and I run him by the quarterback and he just manages to run back upfield and get the sack.”
We beg to differ that Hutchinson "did not do a damn thing all f****** game."
Along with his sack, Hutchinson tallied six quarterback hits.
So, that means Hutchinson had at least seven pressures in total, and he may have had more when you factor in hurries, a stat Pro Football Focus tracks but has not released yet for the Week 12 contest.
That makes Eluemunor's statement delusional, at best.
Eluemunor isn't the first offensive lineman to get beat by Hutchinson and he most certainly won't be the last.
The veteran should just tip his cap to Hutchinson and keep it moving. This isn't a good look for him.
