‘Never Heard Of That Rule’: Lions WR Thought Detroit Would Get Another Play After OPI Penalty

On the final play of the game last Sunday at Ford Field between the Detroit Lions and the Pittsburgh Steelers, Lions Pro Bowl wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown knew going into the pivotal fourth and goal that if he didn’t get into the end zone, he was going to lateral the ball to a teammate.

Ultimately, he did just that, pitching the ball to quarterback Jared Goff, who tumbled into the end zone for what many thought was the game-winning score.

But there were just a few slight problems with that. St. Brown had a pass interference penalty on Steelers safety Jalen Ramsey in the end zone to get open for the catch.
