Everyone is talking about the face-mask penalty which extended Packers-Lions by the one play and the 15 yards to Rodgers-to-Rodgers the chance to win the game.
Sorry, that one is actually a good call. (.GIF from Deadspin)
That's a face-mask, people. Unlucky on Taylor? Sure. No problem, but he does get the thumb in there.
That's not the one you need to be looking at.
With thanks to a Deadspin article on how ridiculously high Rodgers' Hail Mary was (it damn near hit a beam in the stadium!), this is what I believe you should...

And here's two of the responses to explain the whole thing:
@JoeDRobinson4 Six defenders vs four receivers and the catch is still made. Well done.

@JoeDRobinson4 @JayScottSmith no lions player within 5 yards of Rodgers. Ridiculous

And yet you still want to tell me there were no shenanigans? But the whole talk of it is going to be a face-mask call that was actually CORRECT!
Keep believing these games are legit. You're being laughed at, America.
And Brian Tuohy found this gem about the game last night too. Vegas won handily, even though the Packers are one of the better public teams in the NFL: (Source: David Pane Purdum of ESPN Chalk.)
Ticket count is 2-1 in favor of Packers @LVSuperBook, but 3 times more $ has been bet on Lions, per @sportsbookrandy.
