All Lions: Matthew Stafford's Trick Play Listed as Lions' Top Play of the Decade

Matthew Stafford completely fooled the Dallas Cowboys back in 2013.

In the last 10 years, the Detroit Lions have created several highlights for supporters to cheer about and lowlights for detractors to complain about for the next decade. 

Lions team reporter Mike O'Hara listed his top 10 plays of the past decade in his latest for the team's website. 

Matthew Stafford's trick play against the Dallas Cowboys in 2013 topped his list that included offense, defense and special teams. 

As O'Hara explains,

"He caught the Dallas Cowboys' defense on its heels, expecting him to spike the ball on first and goal at the one.

Instead, Stafford took the snap and jumped through a gap to extend the ball over the goal line for a touchdown with 12 seconds left and a 31-30 win for the Lions."

Let's take a look now at some other Lions news from around the web on Monday, July 6:
