By In the second quarter of their matchup against the Detroit Lions, the Miami Dolphins fell victim to a fake punt, as Lions punter Jack Fox completed a pass to Tay Martin for 11 yards that kept their drive alive.
Then, in the fourth quarter and faced with a fourth-and-3, the Dolphins decided to try their hand at trickery. Dolphins punter Bradley Pinion took the snap and completed a pass to running back Kaytron Allen. Allen gained 46 yards on the pass, helping Miami get into the red zone.
