CHICAGO -- Earlier in the week, Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson approached veteran quarterback Jared Goff with an odd request coming off a tough loss to the Buffalo Bills.
"It started on Monday with Ben asking me 'if he thought I could actually fumble on purpose and pick it back up?' and I was like, 'I don't know about that' and we kind of got off that pretty quickly,'" Goff recalled.
By Sunday, it all made sense as the Lions celebrated their first 13-win season in franchise history with a 34-17 win over the Bears at Soldier Field, with Goff perfectly executing Johnson's "stumble bum" trick play.
