What did Detroit Lions RT Penei Sewell do?
The Lions had an eight-point lead with just two minutes remaining in the game, and on 3rd & 7 at their own 42-yard line, a decision had to be made. Would the Lions just run the ball to keep the clock running?
Nope! Instead, Ben Johnson called a play that will be played for years to come.
Watch as RT Penei Sewell lines up as an eligible receiver, goes in motion, goes out for a pass, catches the pass, and picks up a HUGE first down for the Lions.
