Lions' nifty flea-flicker leads to 52-yard touchdown pass from Jared Goff to Sam LaPorta

The Detroit Lions broke out a nifty trick play against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday.

In the second quarter, with about 11:49 left in the first half, Jared Goff tossed the ball to David Montgomery, who then handed the ball to Amon-Ra St. Brown. The wide receiver came around only to give the ball back to Goff, who found tight end Sam LaPorta trailing down the sideline.

Goff went into the locker room with 178 passing yards on 11-of-16 throwing. Montgomery had 58 rushing yards on nine carries with the two scores. LaPorta had only been targeted once in the game, and that was the touchdown pass.
