The Detroit Lions’ crazy trick play against the Chicago Bears—officially called the stumblebum—continues to be the gift that keeps on giving. The play may be almost a full week old at this point, but on Friday, the team dropped their mic’d up video from the game, and it captures the absolute joy from that moment.
As a quick reminder, with the Lions already up 27-14 early in the second half, offensive coordinator Ben Johnson dialed up a trick play inspired by a 2023 gaffe-turned-touchdown from the Packers. On the play, quarterback Jared Goff pretended to stumble, running back Jahmyr Gibbs intentionally fell down to the ground, while several players on the field yelled that the team had fumbled the ball.
