One of the most bizarre plays of the season unfolded in Monday night's game between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Detroit Lions, and the explanation for it was just as wild.
The play in question saw Cade Otton reach for what appeared to be a first down that would have given the Bucs a fourth down conversion. Otton lost the ball when he was reaching but the ball was recovered by Tampa Bay and moved back to the spot where it came lose.
Detroit challenged the ruling on the field, but this is where things get strange.
