Not the actual play in this case, but how they got there.
Jared Goff was correctly called for illegal motion -- as he motioned out, he basically lost the protections given to the quarterback thereto. And the referee admitted it's almost never called.
The problem comes in that it is now evident the call came from New York...
New York is not supposed to be involved in calls like that. At least not under the rules we know...Lions HC Dan Campbell confirms that the officials told him New York stepped in to overturn Jared Goff’s touchdown.

The officials previously said that New York was NOT involved in the call…
Refs need to be investigated.

ReplyDeleteI say it all the time.
ReplyDeleteI don't think we're there yet on the Chiefs. I think this is more an active de-push of the Lions.
