It put us in the 4th and 6th situation that allowed Garrett to go for it and win the game.

Without it, virtually no chance we take the risk of going for it at 4th and 8th, and unlikely we get the 1st if we did.

What about that pass interference called on T Will that led to the touchdown? I loved the refs today.

Lot's of big plays and calls went in our favor for sure, but I wanted to call out something that was largely overlooked but ended up changing the entire game.

The Cole Beasly beheading catch was the play of the game for me.

Out of all the game changing plays, you mention this.

You're trying too hard.

There's not much difference between fourth-and-6 and fourth-and-8. Based on Garrett's comments, it sounds like he considered it four-down territory. Maybe if there was a sack or something to make it fourth-and-15, we might have punted, but I think Garrett probably would have gone for it even on fourth-and-8.

Cool, in the end it helped us win the game. All I care about.

What in the end helped us win the game. The defense, offense and special teams is what helped us win. Refs was trying to gift wrap it for Detroit

This is one game that I can't complain about the refs after they picked up that PI against Hitchens. I was also surprised we got the holding call against #54 on Dunbar.

The holding call (i.e. tackle of Dunbar) was as blatant as you can get though. The defender grabbed him and slung him to the ground.

Yep, but I seen RBs get held often and it rarely gets called. You're correct that this one blatant.

That pass interference call where they picked up the flag would be called in 99.9999% of games. Plus defense holdings (which were not gifts, just legit calls favored our way) helped us. It would be a whole different game if they weren't called or picked up.
