Give Dan Campbell credit, he’s always willing to roll the dice. Sometimes the gamble doesn’t work.
That’s what happened on Thanksgiving Day when the Detroit Lions attempted a fake punt from their own territory in the third quarter.
Trailing 23-14, the fake punt went nowhere.
The Packers took over at the Detroit 22 and soon after Jordan Love found Christian Watson with a TD pass.
Rather than try and go up 16, the Packers went for 2 and their attempt at a Philly Special flopped.
It was 29-14. Packers.
Detroit tries the fake punt, but the @packers say “NOT TODAY”
