Detroit Lions fans are not letting go of their loss to the Dallas Cowboys any time soon.

The Lions, quite literally, had the game won after they succeeded on a two-point conversion that gave them a 21-20 lead with just 23 seconds to go - but the refs threw a flag.

Jared Goff threw a pass to offensive lineman Taylor Decker, but refs said he did not report as an eligible receiver, thus negating the play. Detroit eventually lost, 20-19.

However, Brad Allen and his crew became Public Enemy No. 1 when video appeared to show Decker, Penei Sewell and Dan Skipper seemingly discussing eligibility before the play.

In the postgame, the explanations contradicted each other. Goff said he was sure Decker reported as an eligible receiver and Skipper had not. Allen said Skipper reported to him as an eligible receiver but then went to the tackle spot, which meant he did not have to report at all. Decker was already in the game.

NFL fans, and seemingly the Lions, seemed certain that referees deemed the wrong lineman eligible, robbing the Lions of a likely victory.
