Packers 23, Lions 22: Who’s to blame for excruciating loss? What's next? Recorded Oct. 14, 2019 at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wis. Dave Birkett and Jeff Seidel, Detroit Free Press

GREEN BAY, Wis. — Blaming the officials is always a loser’s lament.

It was when they picked up the flag against the Cowboys five years ago, it was when Calvin Johnson didn’t complete the process against the Bears four years before that, and it is now after Trey Flowers was flagged twice for illegal use of the hands, extending two Green Bay scoring drives in the fourth quarter of the Detroit Lions’ 23-22 loss to the Packers on Monday night.
