The Detroit Lions' fake fumble trick game ends with a TD against the Chicago Bears

Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson could be getting some dough for Christmas. The play he called against the Chicago Bears with a two-point lead might be enough to land him on the Naughty List.

Already leading 27-14 early in the second half of the Week 16 game, Johnson had the Lions fake a fumble just outside the red zone. It started with quarterback Jared Goff faking a stumble off the snap and ended with a wide-open 21-yard touchdown pass to tight end Sam LaPorta.

To pull off the trick, Goff pretended to stumble as he faked a handoff to running back Jahmyr Gibbs. To further sell the fake fumble, Gibbs dropped to the ground and rolled as if chasing a dropped ball.
