The Detroit Lions faced a controversial ending in their game against the Dallas Cowboys when a two-point conversion that would have given them the lead was nullified due to an illegal touching penalty. Lions' head coach Dan Campbell, who had discussed potential trick plays with officials before the game, including the two-point attempt, expressed his disagreement with the referees' decision postgame. The play in question involved a pass from quarterback Jared Goff to offensive lineman Taylor Decker. Despite the Lions' insistence that the officials made an error with the penalty call, the conversion was disallowed, leading to a wave of reactions. Campbell's postgame comments highlighted his frustration, and while some viewed the original call as aggressive, others criticized the decision to go for it 7 yards out and then 4 yards out.

Even though it appears the Lions got screwed on successful 2 point conversion, I keep going back to Dan Campbell losing his cool. It was a lunatic decision to go for it 7 yards out and then 4 yards out. There’s aggressive (The original call) and then there’s hurting your team

A lot of emotion from Dan Campbell after game. Doesn’t agree with refs on failed two-point conversion because of ineligible receiver.
