Lions linebacker James Houston appeared to defecate during Detroit’s game against the Texans on Sunday night.
While Detroit would emerge on top at the end of four quarters, much of regulation was tough on the Lions, as quarterback Jared Goff threw five picks for the Texans to take advantage of.
As the Lions tried to shake off the loss, screenshots of Houston with a yellowish-brown stain on his butt during one of the fights began going viral on social media.
“The Detroit Lions are getting beat and a guy is screwing himself. I’m CRYING,” he captioned one account.
Users took to the comments section to clown the Jackson State product over the apparent accident.

Houston was criticized on social media even though the Lions overcame a ten-point lead to win
“Damn, Texans really clean up the lions, huh,” one user wrote.
“Bro, it better be a photography store,” exclaimed another.
“They really scared the shit out of my brother,” a third insisted.
“I knew I wasn’t tripping when I saw it live,” a fourth wrote.
“Motion to switch to dark pants,” a fifth user suggested.
While Houston became a laughing stock online, his team had the last laugh by overcoming a 10-point second-half deficit.
Lions kicker Jake Bates would complete a 58-yard pass to tie the game at 23 with five minutes left. His right boot would break the deadlock from 52 yards out in the final seconds to give Detroit the 26-23 victory.
Goff and company have won their last seven games and sit atop the NFC North with an 8-1 record. They hope to continue their hot streak against Jacksonville on November 17.
On the other hand, the Texans (6-4) sit in first place in the AFC South and will try to avoid a three-game skid when they face the Cowboys on the 18th.
