The Detroit Lions were robbed:
Advertisements [?]
With only five wins headed into this last weekend's home game against Chicago, Detroit was all set for a high draft pick.
Their plans were derailed when Chicago's rally from a 16-0 deficit was cut short by a poor call by the officials. That call negated an obvious touchdown pass completion in the end zone, as time was running short. A replay challenge was denied, and Detroit was credited with a win they hadn't earned.
The final score was 19-13, but most observers realized that the TD should have been allowed, and with the nearly automatic PAT, Chicago would have earned a 20-19 comeback victory.
Detroit too would have won, as they would have locked up a draft pick in the top ten, maybe as high as number five. Now, with their unearned sixth victory, the Lions are scrambling to secure a pick in the top sixteen. Sometimes, there is no justice.
