Roger Goodell has the authority to overturn Detroit Lions-Dallas Cowboys' Week 17 outcome

[remdak]

This would be a great chance for Aubrey to go for a 70 yd FG.

Baltimore and San Francisco...otherwise this fan really isn't concerned.

It's in the article, he can reschedule and restart the game or continue the game from the point of the questionable outcome.

If a commissioner-led investigation into official Brad Allen’s call reveals it was “extraordinarily unfair or outside the accepted tactics” and has “a major effect on the result of the game,” Roger Goodell can take action that includes “the reversal of a game’s result or the rescheduling of a game, either from the beginning or from the point at which the extraordinary act occurred.”

It’ll never happen. You realize the can of worms it would open to do so?

Never happen.

I hope Roger has gills because he would be sleeping with the fishes

The article writer must've seen a different game than I did.

Maybe I had a few too many but I seem to remember the game not ending on that play, and the Lions actually opting to go for 2 two more times when they could've easily kicked the XP and gone to overtime.

 

[HungryLion]

One timeout. MM wasted one on the 2 pt play.

My mistake.

still, wouldn’t shock me for cowboys to get in position for a long FG attempt.

 

[DuncanIso]

Lol. Everyone knows that'll never happen.

Yup.

But everyone saw it go down.

Rigged.

 

[viman96]

Rigged.

Stop with the rigged nonsense.

So they gotta do it twice?

 

[Darthkuriboh]

That’s a good way for the NFL to get sued into oblivion

 

[ScipioCowboy]

Where would they restart the game? From the point of the tripping call against Hendershot that wasn’t a trip?

Right. There was still 23 seconds left. If the clock was 0.00 when all this occurred then that would be different. But how do you overturn a game that had time left on the clock. They still didn’t get the onside kick. There was still a chance them after the 2 point conversion. Not a great one but a chance.

 

[DuncanIso]

Stop with the rigged nonsense.

Sure man.

What else you wanna call it?

Barring catastrophic injury to one or more players on either team, I’d be stunned if these two don’t end up in the Super Bowl.

 

[Teague31]

They’ll do it. And then suspend Zeke again.

 

[CowboysDrew]

I dunno, gross incompetence seems to come to mind.

 

[RomoIsGod]

70 was called. So 68 wasn't covered. Call 68 and Dallas coverage him like a blanket. Detroit tried to confuse Dallas.

 

[Cowboyny]

Many forget even if the play counted, cowboys still had 23 seconds and timeouts with a real good long distance kicker

68 had two defenders on him.

I call a typical week in the NFL. Bad calls happen and fans have a right to be pissed off. That does not mean it is rigged.
