NFL 2017 Week 3 |OT| An Epidemic of "Leakyolinitus" has Broken Out

What happened in Lions game?!
Refs arbitrarily awarded a victory to Atlanta.

Receiver was in the process of catching the ball at the goal line, after review they called him down at the 1 instead of a TD, as original called. They then subtracted all remaining time off the clock (did the Lions have a TO left?) because fuck Detroit.

Mind boggling. Worse than the Megatron non-TD catch IMO
 
I think he was down short of the goalline and I don't think you can assume they could have run a play in under 8 seconds.


Lions did not have a timeout.

Yeah. As a Detroit I try to ignore the constant suspicion of the refs having it out for the lions, but what the hell. They gave Atlanta the game.
