After Dominik Eberle does not perform well at all for the Detroit Lions in his second NFL game, he is released on Tuesday. Now the Nuremberg native speaks out and is self-critical.

Munich/Detroit – What started out as one of the best days of Dominik Eberle’s football career so far ended up being arguably one of the worst.

After filling in for the injured Austin Seibert for the Detroit Lions, his big moment was to come. Active in an NFL game for the second time. However, the game went down the drain, he missed two extra points and was not uninvolved in the fact that the Lions were behind almost the entire game.

As a result, the Lions fired him on Tuesday.

Eberle combative: “It’s just getting started “

Shortly after, Eberle came forward with a statement on Twitter. “No excuses, I just wasn’t good enough on Sunday,” the Nuremberg native had to admit. “That’s how it is sometimes. Of course it’s disappointing and nobody will deal with it harder than me. “

But the Utah State graduate’s eyes are on the future: “I’m holding my head high,” he promised in his statement. “This year has been one of the hardest of my life so far, with being laid off and getting sick, but still, I keep going and all these events will only motivate me more.” Earlier this year, he was released by the Green Bay Packers due to esophageal inflammation before he could even compete for the starter’s job.

In closing, Eberle is combative: “No matter what, I’m always thankful for this journey and everything I’ve been able to experience right now, it’s just getting started!”

The kicker is currently a free agent and can be picked up by any team. For the Detroit Lions it’s off to the New England Patriots on Sunday – unfortunately without Dominik Eberle.
