Special Delivery to Green Bay -- NFL Refball Fuckery Victory!!!

Brian Tuohy was talking about this already, but I'm glad I picked up the last two minutes of this farce.

One of the things he was probably talking about?  This was called a Packers touchdown!
Here's another.  12 men on the field will get you a penalty.  THIRTEEN, on the other hand, appears legal, if this play actually went off...
So, two minutes to go, Packers already in field-goal range, burning the Lions timeouts. Third and 4 at the Lions 16. 1:51 to go.

Not only did the referees completely miss a facemask on the Packers' line, they gave them a bullshit "hands to the face" penalty on the defense to ensure the Lions would never get the ball back.

Here's the video -- by no less than Emmit Smith on his Twitter!
Twitter concurs as the main subject of it's game recap:  https://twitter.com/i/events/1183946650760335361

Here's at least ONE missed facemask, and I think the ESPN cameras caught ANOTHER:
Crosby with the Cliffhanger (the only one for the week) at the gun -- Packers are 5-1, 23-22.

Are we setting up for ANOTHER Green Bay-Seattle playoff showdown?
