Packers’ Rasul Douglas wows with bizarre play against Lions

Green Bay Packers cornerback Rasul Douglas has put together a second straight solid season, but it was a freak play Sunday night against the Detroit Lions that had people scratching their heads.

With 2 seconds remaining in the first half and the Packers leading 9–3, Lions kicker Michael Badgley lined up for a field goal that would cut the deficit. As both special teams lined up, Douglas walked down the line of scrimmage and bunted the ball.

Douglas was called for unnecessary roughness on the play for slapping a Lions player, but it was the haphazard way Douglas picked up the ball that drew attention to the defensive back.

Badgley converted the field goal and Detroit took a three-point lead at the half.

Douglas finished the game with five tackles, two passes defensed, and one tackle for loss. He will finish the season with 85 tackles, four interceptions, 15 passes defensed and five tackles for loss.

Green Bay led 16-13 on a 13-yard pass from Aaron Rodgers to Allen Lazard. Detroit would take the lead for good with a Jamaal Williams touchdown run from the goal line. It was his second touchdown of the night and helped him pass Barry Sanders for the most rushing touchdowns by a Lions running back in a single season.
