DETROIT -- For two straight weeks, the Lions have been accused of tipping plays before the snap, but they've denied it each time.
But NBC caught a moment in Sunday night's game against the Patriots that spells out some of that predictability, plain as day. The Lions lined up for an offensive snap in the first quarter and Matthew Stafford called for an audible. A New England defender can be heard audibly calling out, "It's a toss," before the ball snapped and it was indeed a toss -- and the Patriots blew it up.
