With the Lions sitting just outside of the red zone, Johnson had both Jared Goff and Jahmyr Gibbs pretend to stumble over in an effort to get the Bears’ defense looking in the backfield. The gambit worked to perfection, and Goff turned around and fired a touchdown pass to a wide-open Sam LaPorta:

Jared Goff and the Detroit Lions borrowed from Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers to trick the Chicago Bears on Sunday.

On the play, Lions quarterback Jared Goff and running back Jahmyr Gibbs acted as if Goff had fumbled the snap. Gibbs fell to the ground, Goff slipped and players were overheard yelling "fumble!" But Goff never fumbled, which was evident after he launched a deep pass to a wide-open Sam LaPorta for a 21-yard touchdown.

Detroit Lions OC Ben Johnson should have saved this for a bigger game. Check it out as the Lions RB hits the turf and Jared Goff stumbles after taking the snap, appearing to fumble. The Bears fell for it and Goff threw a TD pass to Sam LaPorta.

In the Detroit Lions' 34-17 win over the Chicago Bears on Sunday, the Lions ran a fun play that purposely looked like it was a mistake. The play had Goff stumble in the play action fake and had Jahmyr Gibbs fall down on purpose too.
