@ESPN_BillC Hot garbage. Having this come down to metrics like yds/play and exp TO shouldn’t matter when Boise and NM are the only two teams in that 4 way to beat two of the other 3 teams. UNLV is the only team that has two losses to the other 3. Should have been Boise/ NM in the MWC
A missed call late in Saturday night's game between the Detroit Lions and Dallas Cowboys led to an even higher-profile error in what has escalated into the latest and most egregious example that the NFL has an officiating issue.
The latest controversy surrounding referee Brad Allen and his officiating crew -- involving an overturned 2-point conversion by the Lions -- could potentially have been avoided if not for another missed call on the Cowboys' previous possession.
The Cowboys owned a 17-13 lead when they intercepted Jared Goff at the Lions 29-yard line with with 2:05 remaining. Tony Pollard's 7-yard run on the ensuing play was called back after Dallas tight end Peyton Hendershot was called for tripping, setting the Cowboys up with a 1st and 25 on the Lions 44-yard line.
Video of that initial first-down play, reviewed by ESPN, showed that Lions defensive end Aidan Hutchinson -- not Hendershot -- should have been the one flagged for attempting to trip Pollard.
Dubbing @mind_teaser the greatest guy I know is an understatement. Supporting his gofundme should be the easiest decision you make today.
