<p>The Detroit Lions appeared to dial up a perfect, 1-yard trick play to score a touchdown on the opening drive of their "Sunday Night Football" game against the Kansas City Chiefs.</p>
<p>On fourth-and-goal, Lions quarterback Jared Goff motioned out from under center, putting the Lions into a Wildcat formation. Running back David Montgomery took the direct snap and quickly tossed it outside to Goff.</p>
<p>Goff briefly bobbled the throw, but he managed to catch it on his second effort and plowed into the end zone for what looked like a score.</p>
<p>However, the play was correctly nullified by an illegal motion penalty.</p>

<p>What happened? The officials ruled, after discussion, that Goff had failed to pause after motioning out from under center. He simply immediately ran out toward the flat, which is, by rule, an illegal motion penalty, as NBC's rules analyst Terry McAulay explained on the game broadcast.</p>
<p>"He takes a position behind the center. He's got to step back and pause for a second and establish as a back before he goes in motion," McAulay explained. "He didn't. He stayed in motion."</p>
<p>Despite this looking really cool, Terry McAulay explains why Jared Goff was lined up illegally and why this touchdown was taken off the board. pic.twitter.com/fXZ2I5xBFT</p>
