Did the Detroit Lions do themselves a disservice firing Brayden Coombs?
Down 32-18 with just over 12 minutes left in their matchup against the Tennessee Titans on Sunday, the Detroit Lions found themselves with a critical decision to make on fourth down. The Lions’ special teams coordinator, Brayden Coombs, decided it was time for a fake punt. Unfortunately, he reportedly failed to tell his interim head coach, Darrell Bevell.
The ball was direct snapped to safety C.J. Moore and he was tackled just short of the first-down marker.
