If there's one NFL coach with the gumption to call a fake punt inside his own 20-yard line less than 10 minutes into the new season, it is unquestionably Dan Campbell.
Campbell gave his Detroit Lions an early shot of confidence in the season opener against the Kansas City Chiefs. On their second drive, they faced a fourth-and-two on their own 17-yard line and sent out the punt team, because of course. But the Lions weren't punting.
They faked it. Lions linebacker Jalen Reeves-Maybin took the direct snap and ran forward for a 3-yard gain and the first down.
