REPORT: LIONS/COWBOYS REF CREW TO BE DOWNGRADED AFTER BOTCHED CALL

Audio By Carbonatix

By all accounts, the Detroit Lions were on the wrong end of referee incompetence on Sunday…and reports say that the same crew will be paying a price. With less than a minute left to play, the Lions were trailing the Dallas Cowboys 20-19 and were going for a two-point conversion after a touchdown. The game-winning pass went to #68, Taylor Decker, but Brad Allen’s officiating crew nullified the score, claiming it was #70 Dan Skipper who said he was to be made eligible. The Lions lost the game…and the #2 seed, at worst, which went to Dallas. On the ESPN Spanish feed, the ref can be heard announcing #70 as eligible, but with no timeouts left and the game on the line, there was no time for the Lions to correct what the team is adamant about being a massive mistake by the zebras. As a result, insider Adam Schefter says Allen’s crew will be “downgraded,” and says it would be a “surprise” to see “anyone from that crew in the postseason.” For the record, this call wasn’t the first time this season that Allen’s crew was criticized for missed or bad controversial calls.
