The Lions just got hosed.
No way that ball was short. Then the 10 second run off? Wow.
They were lucky to be down there in the first place, especially with the ticky-tack holding call away from the play on that interception.
OUCH....
they gave the Falcons a run for the $. They are not going to be an easy match-up next week. One hell of an important game for #4 of the season!!
The right call was for it to be reversed, which it was.
I honestly didn't see where he was touched knee or no knee... It was a BS call.
The Lions’ food caught on fire after they lost to the Falcons
The Detroit Lions lost a tough game against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday — and to make matters worse, when they came inside, their food was on fire.
Yes, on fire.

Yup. Not a TD. /cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/56836223/853153860.0.jpg)
I was watching in the tailgate lot and as soon as I saw it I said he was short... It might have been more or a wish, but it sure looked short to me right away and it was confirmed by the review. I did forget about the 10 second run off so I have to admit that I was a little shocked when they made that call to end the game.
It was clearly not a TD. Knee down, and touched, and short of the goal. Really a gutsy enforcement of the rules by refs in that situation.

I really wish I knew why the Vikings rarely get those type of calls, it cant still be the whiskey bottle or squirt bottle incidents can it?
I loved it when Dean Blandino explained the rule, that it was short of the goal, and that 10 seconds needed to be run off, and the announcer asked how comfortable he would be to make that call "He said he was very comfortable in the FOx studios making the call"
When i saw it I immediately thought of Cooks TD called back in the Pittsburgh game. If they overturn Cooks TD with a much worse angle, they had to call ball the Lions TD.
