During a game against the Chiefs, the Detroit Lions attempted a trick play that was nullified due to an illegal motion penalty, with coach Dan Campbell taking full responsibility for the misunderstanding of the rules, which also confused quarterback Jared Goff.
The Lions' touchdown pass to Jared Goff was nullified due to a technical violation of the illegal motion rule, which requires Goff to stop for at least one second after going in motion, a rule he did not follow during practice. Hall of Fame coach Tony Dungy pointed out the mistake, raising questions about whether the Lions were unaware of the rule or hoping it wouldn't be noticed. Coach Dan Campbell is expected to address this issue soon.
