It was only a matter of time until the Detroit Lions dialed up another trick play for an offensive lineman. It just so happened that one of those times came on Thanksgiving.
On the Lions’ very first series of Thursday’s afternoon game against the Chicago Bears, Jared Goff faked a handoff and tossed the ball to offensive tackle Penei Sewell, who appeared ready to throw it downfield. Sewell smartly realized no one was open and instead took off with the ball toward the sidelines, stiff-arming one poor Bears defender in the process.
