The player who caught the ball was ineligible. There's just no way the Lions didn't hear the ref announce #70 reported as an eligible receiver. So either Campbell knew and let the play go (cheated), or neither he nor anyone else on the team listened to the announcement, and they're all really stupid.
Right. Why are we ignoring that the def worked on this scenario during the week and left 68 open cause he wasn't announced as eligible. Then stopped the lions two more times.
Do you have the audio?
You realize this did happen to Dallas this season right? Can you point me to the billboard?
You and I agree 100%. 68 did not report 70 did report as it was heard over the speaker. They should have kicked the extra point and went to OT. Trickery bit them in the butt and I’m thrilled it did. Refs suck and have the last two years. The sky is blue. Cowboys will win Sunday and take the division. Go Cowboys!
Actually 68 did line up eligible, but that's what makes it illegal since he didn't report. Offensive lineman have to be covered up if they don't report.
That excuses the conversion but not the 9 play drive with only 1:41 left that ended with an 11 yard TD to a player that was eligible.
Like we did when Dez didnt caught it ?
I think the big difference is the cowboys were done after that game, Lions are still playing.
Nope, but it's clear 68 is talking to the ref and by his own report he states he talked to him. The on the field audio should have been recorded by NFL Films like they do for every game. Wonder if we'll ever hear it.
Took fans like 7+ years, but they've gotten over it. Next year is the 10th anniversary. I'm sure there won't be a peep about it 'round these parts.
There are bunch tweets on the PA in the game (we couldn't hear from the TV broadcast), but were you in the stadium it was loud and clear, #70 was announced eligible.
I was in the stadium but Marcus Rock said he had proof that 68 had declared verbally. No one else has heard that though so I’m assuming he just made it up
