The Lions trailed the Eagles by six points in the second quarter on Sunday night when quarterback Jared Goff hit wide receiver Jameson Williams as he crossed through the defense downfield. Williams caught the ball in stride and ran into the end zone to tie the game.
Then he jumped on the goalpost and was flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct. Thanks to that 15-yard penalty kicker Jake Bates had to attempt a 47-yard extra point on a windy night in Philadelphia. The kick went wide right and the game remained tied 6–6. Bates came into the game having made 33 of his 34 attempts this season.
