At a pivotal point in Thursday’s Detroit Lions vs. Green Bay Packers game, NFL referees either failed to see or disregarded a clear holding penalty.
The league made the deliberate decision to selectively modify the play in question in order to hide its error.
The video clip that was shared on social media had all traces of the grip removed. Eight minutes and 39 seconds remained in the fourth quarter when Detroit scored.
A touchdown on a third-and-goal from the one-yard line. Following the PAT, it gave the Lions a 31-28 lead. After that, they won 34–31.
But the touchdown ought to have been ruled out. Green Bay blasted veteran center Frank Ragnow with a forceful surge up the middle.
Keisean Nixon, a defensive back, burst into the backfield and went straight to Jared Goff. Before Nixon could tackle the quarterback.
