The Detroit Lions are an incredibly fun football team right now. Better yet, they’re a good football team right now. Both of those qualities were on display Sunday afternoon as the Lions were looking to put away the 10-2 Minnesota Vikings late in the game.
With the Vikings needing a third-down stop to get the ball back down eight points with two minutes remaining, the Lions dialed up an aggressive trick play to get the conversion and ice the game.
Right tackle Penei Sewell was announced as an eligible receiver. Initially, Sewell was lined up wide left, but Jared Goff sent him in pre-snap motion to the right.
