The Lions’ two-point conversion getting struck off has been the hottest NFL topic all week, so much so, that the league has had to send out a memo reminding everyone how eligible receiver rules work.
Of course, it’s way too late now. The Lions ended up losing after three attempts at a two-point conversion. And, while head coach Dan Campbell seemingly admitted that his player’s actions may have confused the officials, a former player reckons Jones had something to do with it.
“Jerry Jones picked up the phone and made that same call he made back in 2015 when they picked up that PI FLAG,” Golden Tate, a receiver for Detriot from 2014-2018, posted to X.
This is in reference to a 2015 playoff game between the two teams during which a blatant pass interference went uncalled and proved to be a key moment as the Lions ended up losing and missing out on postseason progression.
