Was that the right call at the end?

Moot point in the end, because the WR covered Decker. WR needed to be in a Flanker position. So it's an illegal formation, also an illegal touch. Decker was never eligible simply based on the formation.
This is a lie..stop spreading bs

So if the Eagles win tomorrow I will consider them division champs.

No one really knows what happened. The video does not provide audio. But if if this happened to the Cowboys I'd be pretty pissed off too.

My question is why did 3 Lions go to the ref? Clearly they were trying to confuse the Cowboys but instead they confused the refs.

This much I do know. #68 was not covered. But I would have to see the other side of the line before the snap.

But after a player reports, the defense is alerted by the refs. If the refs told the Cowboys #70 was eligible and not #68 then the Cowboys would have a good argument on that play too. Although there would be nothing the refs could do about it. The refs threw the flag immediately and so they didn't think 68 was eligible.

It's too bad this happened in a close game because Mike McCarthy deserves a lot of criticism for the play calling before the FG. And Quinn deserves a lot of criticism for giving up that TD so easily.

No way anyone will know. Lions say he reported. Did 2 players report and the ref only heard 1? Or did the ref get the wrong player?

Reports say Allen announced 70 as eligible over the PA system.

another factor is that the refs go and tell Dallas, and they did not tell Dallas that 68 was eligible, which is kind of why he is open> Its similar to not being able to advance a fumble because the whistle was blown

But if reported would that make him basically the TE on that play and he was covering the LT?
I don’t know. I only know what they said on the broadcast about there being 3 different infractions.

Hopefully they get someone from the NFK officials office to clarify and set it all straight
