Why was this downed at the 2 instead of a touchback? Did Vegas call it in? Is the NFL scripted?

No—it’s the "Momentum Exception" (Rule 11, Section 5, Article 1, Exception 2).

How the rule evolved:
• 1953: Ruled a safety
• 1955: Added a 5-yard momentum limit
• 1986: Unlimited momentum for interceptions
• 2001: Expanded to fumbles & kicks

Rule 11 section 5.1 exception 2

If a defensive player, in the field of play, intercepts a pass or catches or recovers a fumble, backward pass, scrimmage kick, free kick, or fair catch kick, and his original momentum carries him into his end zone where the ball is declared dead in his team’s possession. The ball belongs to the defensive team at the spot where the player’s foot or other body part touched the ground to establish possession. If that spot is in the end zone, the result of the play is a touchback, even if the ball is not on, above, or beyond the goal line. (11-6-1)

Amon-Ra is going to play, no questionable about it. Vaki will be interesting, will Saylors get his chance?

Lions offensive line is first in the league as a unit in terms of pressure rate allowed
