Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell was in the gambling mood early in the game against the Seattle Seahawks and punter Jack Fox made him look like a genius.
Campbell decided to call for a fake punt as the Lions were squarely in their own territory and it ended up paying off.
How did Jack Fox make Dan Campbell look like a genius?
The Seattle Seahawks offense had been moving up and down the field at will during the first quarter of Sunday’s game against the Lions, and Dan Campbell clearly thought he needed to take a chance.
Watch as the Lions line up for a punt before Jack Fox throws a bullet (ok, it may have been wobbling a bit) to Quintez Cephus for a first down.

He also has 44 career passing yards, which is also the 2nd-most by a punter in Lions’ franchise history.
