Photo Shows Lions Player Hilariously Botched Attempting to Prevent Too Many Men on Field Penalty
By Michael Luciano
The Detroit Lions have been beating up on Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers for most of their Monday Night Football matchup, but that doesn't mean they're not above some classic Lion incompetence.
Not only were the Lions flagged for 12 men on the field on a Mason Crosby FG attempt that gave the Packers a fresh set of downs, but one of those 12 men was out on the field counting to make sure they weren't called for that EXACT penalty.
The irony of the Lions' 12-men on the field penalty is that they literally had a guy counting everyone to make sure that didn't happen #Lions #Packers #MNF pic.twitter.com/DanM7GZLgV

This is the literal definition of "you had one job." Only the Lions could pull this off.
