These Are the Same Old Dysfunctional, Lost Lions Frederick Breedon/Getty Images The Detroit Lions, clinging to infinitesimal postseason hopes, trailed the Tennessee Titans 32-18 in the fourth quarter yesterday. Facing fourth-and-four from his own 31-yard line, interim coach Darrell Bevell opted to punt, essentially throwing up his hands and admitting defeat. He chose to take the ball out of Matthew Stafford s hands. Special teams coordinator Brayden Coombs decided, correctly, that the only path to victory included getting the first down right then and there. So he dialed up a fake punt. It didn t work as C.J. Moore took the direct snap and came up inches short. Replays showed that challenging the line to gain would have been worth the small risk of losing a timeout, but one never came. Bevell s calculus of preserving his full complement of stoppages was completely undone when Tennessee scored on the subsequent possession and cruised to a 46-25 victory. ....

So instead of punting away the football, interim head coach Darrell Bevell drew up a fake on fourth-and-4. It almost worked, but not quite. C.J. Moore took a direct snap and sprinted for the right sideline, but was ruled just inches short of the chains. Tennessee took over, tacked on another touchdown just six plays later and cruised to a 46-25 win over Detroit at Nisaan Stadium. ....
