NFL Coaching Decisions: Should the Lions Have Pulled a Trick Play Against the Cowboys?

NFL Coaching Decisions: Should the Lions Have Pulled a Trick Play Against the Cowboys? In the world of the NFL, second-guessing coaching decisions is part of the fun for fans and analysts alike. This week, we’re diving into a controversial moment from the recent matchup between the Detroit Lions and the Dallas Cowboys, where a trick play sparked debate about sportsmanship versus strategy. The Scenario: Detroit Dominates The game was well in hand for the Lions, who were leading the Cowboys 37-9 as they approached the end of the third quarter. In a moment that caught many by surprise, Lions quarterback Jared Goff completed a pass to Amon-Ra St. Brown, who then lateraled the ball to offensive tackle Penei Sewell. Sewell, having vacated his position on the line, charged toward the end zone, looking to add insult to injury against a struggling Cowboys team. The Dilemma: Sportsmanship vs. Strategy This moment raises an important question: Was it appropriate for the Lions to execute a trick play when they were already dominating their opponent? Let’s break down both sides of the argument. The Case for Sportsmanship Proponents of traditional sportsmanship argue that there’s no need to rub salt in the wounds of an already defeated opponent. Running unconventional plays in a blowout situation can be seen as disrespectful. The core of sportsmanship is about competing with integrity and treating your opponent with respect. Winning decisively is one thing, but doing so by running trick plays when the outcome is clear can be perceived as "dancing on their grave." In this context, the Lions’ decision to go for a trick play might be viewed as poor sportsmanship. Fans and players alike appreciate when teams maintain a level of dignity, especially when they have clearly outperformed their rivals. After all, wouldn’t you want the same respect shown to your own team in a similar situation? The Case for Trickeration On the flip side, some argue that the NFL is a competitive arena where every opportunity should be seized. The rationale here is simple: if you don’t want your opponent to execute trick plays on you, don’t let them get blown out in the first place. There are no extra points awarded for playing conservatively, and every play executed in October could be critical when the playoffs roll around. Football is not a sport that rewards passivity. By utilizing trick plays, teams can keep their strategy sharp and prepare for the unpredictability of future matchups. If feelings get hurt along the way, that’s part of the game. In a league where every point matters, why not take advantage of every opportunity that presents itself? The Result: A Nullified Touchdown Ultimately, the trick play didn’t even result in a touchdown. Sewell's elbow hit the ground before he crossed the goal line, and a penalty for an ineligible player downfield nullified the entire play. Instead of a touchdown, the Lions settled for a field goal, extending their lead to 40-9. Despite the nullified play, the Lions went on to win decisively, finishing the game at 47-9. The Cowboys, already facing significant challenges, were left to ponder their performance against a Lions team that showed no signs of letting up. Coach Dan Campbell's Perspective After the game, Lions head coach Dan Campbell stood firm in his approach. "Our job is to come back with something more creative and find a way to continue to push the limits here," he stated. His commitment to innovation and creativity in play-calling reflects a broader philosophy in the NFL: that teams must remain aggressive and inventive, regardless of the score. Conclusion: What Do You Think? As we reflect on this incident, the debate continues: Was the Lions' trick play a clever strategy or an example of poor sportsmanship? In the competitive world of the NFL, where every game counts, it’s essential to weigh the importance of respect against the drive to win. We want to hear your thoughts! Was it a smart move by the Lions, or should they have shown more restraint? Join the conversation in the comments.

Happy Valentine's Day, Michigan!

As we make our way through another Michigan winter (though, lately, it has felt like an early spring, am I right?), we hope our latest set of Valentine's Day cards help warm you up.

Don't worry, though: We're only a little more than two weeks away from March, three weeks from daylight saving time starting again and a month from the official start of spring.

Check the link in our bio for more.

Here Comes The Sun, Dan Campbell

“Here Comes The Sun” (36×36″) is a minimalist semi-abstract piece inspired by The Beatles tune released in 1969. (In my opinion, it was one of George Harrison’s best written compositions along with “Something” and “While My Guitar Gently Weeps”.) Original acrylic on 1.5" wrapped canvas frame. Varnish finish and ready to hang.
