ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- The Detroit Lions say an interception returned for a touchdown by safety Louis Delmas has been changed to a 101-yard score, the longest in team history by a rookie.
Delmas' touchdown during Sunday's 31-24 home loss to the Arizona Cardinals had been recorded as a 100-yard score, but 1 yard was added following a review by the Elias Sports Bureau, which keeps NFL statistics.
The Lions said Wednesday that the return is the longest by an NFL rookie since a 103-yard interception return in 1926 by Pete Barnum of the Columbus Tigers.
Sunday's feat made Delmas the first rookie in league history to score on an interception return, a fumble return and a safety in one season.
