Jordan Love throws TD pass to Christian Watson after Lions’ fake punt backfires

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.

It was 29-14. Packers.
