The Detroit Lions were hoping that a long drive to start their Sunday night game against the Kansas City Chiefs was going to end with a touchdown – and it nearly did.
The Lions got the ball down to the Chiefs’ 1-yard line after running back Jahmyr Gibbs was stopped from scoring on third down. The team decided to try for a touchdown on 4th-and-goal.
Lions quarterback Jared Goff was under center with running back David Montgomery behind him. He decided to break out to the left, as Montgomery received the snap. The veteran running back threw the ball to Goff, who bobbled it before regaining control and got into the end zone for what was thought to be a touchdown.
However, the officials talked it over and threw a penalty flag for illegal motion.
