THe Detroit Lions got tricky on their opening Thanksgiving drive. It didn’t exactly backfire but it didn’t work either and led to the most bizarre sack of 2024.
Dan Campbell and Ben Johnson called a play that resulted in the ball ending up in the hands of offensive tackle Penei Sewell.
The plan was for Sewell to throw the football but no one was open. He made the smart play and put the football away.
However, the gang tackle by the Bears turned into a loss of almost five yards.
The stats got involved here and ruled it officially a sack. Jack Sanborn and Austin Booker each received credit for half a sack on the play.
Penei Sewell tried it 😅
