The Detroit Lions defense showed their Halloween spirit at Ford Field with a choreographed Thriller dance in the end zone in the first quarter of the Monday Night Football matchup with the Las Vegas Raiders.

The defense broke into Michael Jackson's famous dance after safety Kerby Joseph hauled in an easy interception in the end zone off Raiders quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo. Joseph sat and waited for the floating pass toward Davante Adams, who was working an out-and-up route against Jerry Jacobs and had sprung open. Joseph fielded the pass like a punt return and ran the ball back to the the Lions' own 11-yard line.

It was a massive response for the Lions, which found themselves on their heels unexpectedly after a fumble deep in their own territory by Josh Reynolds. He coughed up the ball at the Lions' 26-yard line after initially making a contested catch through contact.
