In a dramatic turn of events during an NFL game, the Detroit Lions faced a setback when their successful 2-point conversion was called back due to lineman Taylor Decker not being reported as an eligible receiver. Despite the penalty, video evidence and reports from the game indicate that quarterback Jared Goff had sent Decker to report his eligibility to the referees before the play commenced. This discrepancy has led to widespread disbelief and criticism from fans and commentators, with some claiming that the Lions were significantly disadvantaged by the referee's decision, marking the incident as a particularly contentious moment in the game.
