The Detroit Lions were in their hurry-up offense, trying to preserve precious time late in the first half of Sunday's loss to the Los Angeles Rams, when Jared Goff ran to the line of scrimmage and spiked the ball with 18 seconds on the clock.
The Lions had enough time for a shot or two at the end zone, or maybe to throw short to the sideline and pick up a first down. Then they did something rarely seen by teams running their hurry-up offense: They took a delay-of-game penalty that moved them back 5 yards.
