Lions quarterback Jared Goff was under center with running back David Montgomery behind him. He decided to break out to the left, as Montgomery received the snap. The veteran running back threw the ball to Goff, who bobbled it before regaining control and got into the end zone for what was thought to be a touchdown.

However, the officials talked it over and threw a penalty flag for illegal motion. Goff, according to “Sunday Night Football” rules analyst Terry McAulay, needed to pause for a second before he started to move in motion. The score was taken off the board.
