Yes, the Detroit Lions were “Lionized” again by the officials on the apparent missed delay of game penalty just seconds before the Ravens’ Justin Tucker drilled an NFL record 66-yard field goal to rip out the hearts of Lions fans once again, but a lot of debate is still centered around the 4th-and-19 scheme the Lions had defensively that eventually put Baltimore in position for that field goal attempt.

The Lions sent a three-man rush on the play, preferring to have two spies for Lamar Jackson at the second level and then dropping everyone else deep into a prevent defense.
