Did you see Jameson Williams score an untouched 44-yard touchdown against the Bears on Sunday?
How did that happen?
Williams’ score was a long-con by the Lions offense — a tendency-breaking play they set up over the course of the game.
Let’s take a look at a couple of plays from the first half. The first comes with three minutes left in the first quarter.
Amon-Ra St. Brown and Sam LaPorta are lined up next to each other tight to the left side of the formation. LaPorta takes off up and crosses the field on an over route, occupying the middle of the field underneath the defender, while St. Brown snaps his route off into the void created by LaPorta’s clearout route.
