Lions take issue with officials after potential winning 2-point pass is negated by penalty

Associated Press  

ARLINGTON, Texas — Detroit coach Dan Campbell said he explained to officials before playing the Dallas Cowboys what would happen on a 2-point conversion play the Lions had planned. Officials ruled offensive lineman Taylor Decker wasn’t an eligible receiver when he caught a 2-point conversion pass that would have given Detroit a one-point lead with 23 seconds remaining. I did that.” Allen said Skipper, a backup tackle, reported to him as an eligible receiver, but then went to tackle spot, which meant he didn’t have to report at all. “That conversation is where reports to me, and I then go to the defensive team, and I say to them ‘ has reported as an eligible receiver,’ so they will be aware of who has reported and then I return to my position,” Allen said in the pool report.
