The ensuing possession for the Carolina Panthers started with a costly interception thrown by Bryce Young, which was picked off by Jacobs and returned to the Carolina 31-yard line.
On the following play for the Lions, they executed a reverse flea flicker, with Montgomery receiving a pitch before handing it off to Jameson Williams on the reverse. Williams then pitched the ball back to Goff, who found an open LaPorta for the touchdown.
