Dan Campbell rolls the dice, C.J. Moore does the rest on fake punt [Video]

If you have been following along with the Detroit Lions since Dan Campbell became their head coach prior to the 2021 season, you are well aware of the fact that he is ultra-aggressive. Sometimes that aggressiveness bites the Lions in the butt, but sometimes it pays off in a big way. On Sunday, during the first half against the Miami Dolphins, Campbell called for a fake punt to C.J. Moore and Moore made Campbell look like a genius.

With 1:49 remaining in the second quarter, the Lions had the ball 4th & 2 on their own 33-yard line and Campbell decided that was the right time to call a fake punt to Moore.

Watch as Moore takes the direct snap and runs left for 13 yards and a first down.

The Lions went on to kick a field goal and they lead 27-17 at halftime.
