Lions recreated "Stumble Bum" play to tease Ben Johnson and the Bears

The Detroit Lions lit up the scoreboard against former offensive coordinator Ben Johnson and the Chicago Bears on Sunday, winning 52-21 in their home opener at Ford Field.

It was a red-hot offensive performance all around for the Lions that featured several iconic celebration moments, whether it be Jared Goff struggling to jump into the Ford Field crowd or Amon-Ra St. Brown faking an injury to celebrate one of his three touchdowns in the game.

The most memorable celebration moment, however, was when the Lions recreated Johnson's old trick play against the Bears last season. It was a clever celebration to taunt their former offensive coordinator and the Bears in the blowout win.

The trick play that the Lions recreated was known as the "Stumble Bum," by Johnson, which featured Goff faking a fall after the snap before throwing a touchdown pass.

The celebration took place after the Lions' defense forced a turnover in the fourth quarter. After the celebration, the Lions ended up scoring a touchdown on a fourth-down conversion. Many believe the Lions ran up the score to rub it in to their former offensive coordinator.

The Lions outscored the Bears 24-7 in the second half, which included 14 points in the fourth quarter. Those two touchdowns scored in the fourth quarter were both by St. Brown.

Did the Lions run up the score on the Bears intentionally?

Many Lions fans who attended the hostile home opener at Ford Field on Sunday loved that the Lions ran up the score on Johnson and the Bears. That, however, might not have been the Lions and head coach Dan Campbell's intention, according to Johnson.

Regardless of whether this was the Lions' intention or not, it sure felt good for the fans in attendance at Ford Field to see Detroit dominate the Bears and their former offensive coordinator. It was also what the Lions needed after a brutal season opener loss to the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field the week before.

Now, the Lions are on to Baltimore to play the Ravens next Monday night, where they hope to have the same offensive success as they face off against another one of the most high-powered offenses in the NFL.
