Lions deployed creative play design to get St. Brown at full speed against Vikings defense.

The Lions deployed an inventive play design where St. Brown lined up 15 yards behind the line of scrimmage and got a running start of about 10 yards before Jared Goff threw him the ball, allowing St. Brown to reach full speed before the Vikings' defense could touch him; he gained 10 yards on the play. Lions head coach Dan Campbell credited passing game coordinator Mike Kafka with originating the play, which the team had been developing for a couple of weeks before executing it against Minnesota. The play demonstrates the Lions' willingness to use creative offensive schemes to get St. Brown in space and attacking downfield at full velocity.
