Detroit Lions fans and some on social media are saying thee Lions’ game Saturday night against the Dallas Cowboys was “rigged” by the NFL.
The controversy centers on a video that appears to show Lions linemen Taylor Decker and Dan Skipper talking to a referee before Decker caught a two-point conversion that gave Detroit a 22-21 lead with 23 seconds left on the clock.
Linemen have to report they are eligible receivers before a play starts, but the video does not include audio, so it’s unclear whether Decker reported such.
Many fans took to social media and referred to the game as “rigged” after watching the Lions lose due to the call, according to gridironheroics.com and other websites.
