Dan Campbell, Jared Goff explain what happened on late-game interception
Junfu Han / USA TODAY NETWORK The Detroit Lions were down six points with roughly five minutes remaining in the game and were driving the football. On second-and-10 at the Rams’ 12-yard line, the Lions dialed up a play to get the ball in T.J. Hockenson’s hands in the end zone.
They were confident in the play. In fact, they had worked on it all week in preparation for this type of situation. They felt they were in a good spot to take the lead with a score and were willing to be aggressive to try and get it.
Unfortunately, the Rams’ superstars were up to the task and their two biggest defensive players stepped up to thwart the Lions' efforts.
