There was a point where Aikman was mentioning that the Lions were playing Thielen physically, and they showed a replay and he was getting mugged.

I felt like that non-call on the deep throw to Diggs was MAJOR, possibly the worst officiating decision as it turned the game around, nearly disastrously. Poor calls after that exacerbated the anger, but I sardonically said to the room at the time that not getting that PI call that would have set them up in a good spot to go up by three touchdowns was going to turn into a comeback run for Detroit. Sure enough the Lions scored a pretty quick 10 points. Following that play the Vikings had to punt a couple plays later and struggled to punt results the following two drives. Luckily today they were able to fight and overcome, but with the proper PI call on that play I think the Vikings would have kept momentum, a considerable lead, and we would have had a stress free second half.

It is hard enough to win games in the NFL, you shouldn't have to beat the officials too.

They didn't like that the score was getting lopsided so they felt the need to interfere.

On the “taunting” by Keenum, why did they not call excessive celebration on the Lions? Isn’t it still illegal to do group celebrations on non-TD plays?

What was with the taunting? I missed an explanation. I saw their guy rolling on the ground like a fool, then the flag, then "Taunting, #7." What'd he do?

Apparently it's ok unless it's the Vikings. I thought that taunting penalty was ridiculous. I will have to rewatch but that facemask on Kendricks looked weak. And of course that lack of pass interference on Diggs was insane. They overcame the refs.
