If you were watching the Detroit Lions game against the Los Angeles Chargers on television, you almost missed the biggest play of the game.
Last week, the Lions failed to gain 5 yards that would’ve given them a first down and the ability to run the rest of the clock, clinching a win over the Cardinals. Against the Chargers, they had to gain 6 in a similar situation, and because of one key coaching decision, the CBS broadcast crew nearly missed it entirely.
You may not have noticed, but after the Chargers took their second timeout—desperately trying to get the ball back with under a minute to go—CBS took the opportunity to run a highlight reel of the biggest moments from the game.
