The Detroit Lions Have Been Completely Ripped Off.
|Dan Gilbert, founder and chairman of Rocket Companies and owner of the Cleveland Cavaliers, commented on the disputed ref call that lost the Detroit Lions a victory against the Dallas Cowboys on X, formerly Twitter, on Sunday.
At the center of the controversy: Jared Goff on Saturday night tossed a completion to left tackle Taylor Decker to put the Lions ahead of Dallas 21-20 with seconds left. Then came a flag, declaring Decker ineligible because he did not properly report as eligible. The Lions lost 20-19.
Decker, Coach Dan Campbell and other Lions insist that Decker did notify the ref. They say there is video showing Decker did so.
The matter is under review by the NFL.
