The Detroit Lions kept their momentum going in Week 16, despite facing a series of injuries throughout the season.

In their rematch with the Chicago Bears, the Lions built a 34-17 lead by the third quarter, following their Thanksgiving Day victory over the same team.

You may remember that just ten days after the Thanksgiving win, the Lions triumphed over the Green Bay Packers, thanks to a crucial fourth-down conversion, which involved Jared Goff seemingly falling while handing the ball to David Montgomery.

This time against the Bears, Goff stumbled again, but with a twist.

This was no accident. He intentionally faked a stumble before delivering a touchdown pass to Sam LaPorta.

Not only that, but Jahmyr Gibbs also appeared to fall during the play, only to quickly roll and get up to block a defender. The smoothness of the play was no coincidence—it was carefully designed.

The play was part of a clever scheme created by offensive coordinator Ben Johnson.

After executing the fake stumble, Goff proudly showed his acting skills to head coach Dan Campbell on the sideline, prompting the two to share a laugh.

The moment felt like a child showing their parent something exciting on a tablet, but Campbell’s reaction was genuine.

His enthusiasm was sincere, as he couldn’t fake such excitement, and it added a lighthearted touch to the play.
