Lions got shiv’ed at the end of a masterful comeback TD at the end of the game and went for 2 pts, having already pre-notified the refs that he would switch a player to be elegible to receive the winning pass - then after a minute or so, ruled the play invalid. The looks on their faces were close to that on the CNN “journalists” reporting Trumps “loss” in 2020. This was a Legacy Tribute day with Staubach and Dallas Gerry World royalty.

This had to go through New York, ref staff, etc. to keep the wrong team from moving ahead in the playoffs.

Yeah...the Dallas game a couple of years back. Dan Skipper, #70, reported as eligible...now they have to actually repeat via speakers that the player has reported.

There was a game where Golden Tate “scored” a TD with several seconds left. If they’d have called him short there was at least a chance to run another play (or spike). But no, after replay, they declared it was no TD, he was short, and because of this...a 10s runoff penalty. Game over. Lions lose.
