A new audio clip has surfaced from the ending of the Detroit Lions-Dallas Cowboys Saturday night game, and it should at least clear up some of the controversy.

With 23 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter, the Lions scored a touchdown to cut the Dallas lead to one point. Rather than kick the extra point, Dan Campbell called for the Lions to attempt a two-point conversion.

Jared Goff found Taylor Decker in the end zone for two, but officials flagged the latter for illegal touching. Apparently, Decker had failed to report himself as eligible before the play.

Decker and Goff were both adamant in their post-game pressers that he did report eligible. But as you can hear in the two clips below, referee Brad Allen clearly states that only No. 70 (Dan Skipper) reported eligible.

The first clip shows the Dallas defense also being informed that Skipper had reported eligible:

The Lions’ final two-point conversion attempt was unsuccessful, with Goff’s pass to James Mitchell falling incomplete. Dallas recovered the onside kick to hold on for a 20-19 victory.

REPORT: UCLA Bruins Head Coach Chip Kelly Is Being Considered By Multiple NFL Teams

Might we see Chip Kelly return to the NFL in 2024?

That’s what CBS Sports has suggested, having claimed that the UCLA Bruins head coach is drawing interest among NFL teams.

Kelly, who has coached the Philadelphia Eagles and San Francisco 49ers, is being considered as a potential candidate for the offensive coordinator position, per the aforementioned source.

It’s also understood that various teams have begun their due diligence.

“Multiple sources tell CBS Sports that UCLA head coach Chip Kelly has been mentioned as a possible offensive coordinator by multiple head-coaching candidates this cycle, and multiple teams have started due diligence on the former Eagles and 49ers head coach for their potential offensive coordinator vacancy,” the outlet reported.

It’s been reported that the Bruins could be looking to part ways with Kelly and, if that’s the case, he might decide to hop back to the league before positions get filled up.

Kelly is one of the best offensive minds out there and would likely contribute to an NFL team harboring Super Bowl aspirations in a major way. Still, a college head coach taking up a coordinator role in the NFL is pretty rare.
