Allen Park – Lions cornerback Nevin Lawson was flagged for a crushing 66-yard pass interference penalty on the first play of the second quarter in last week’s 34-27 loss at Green Bay.
According to Lawson, the NFL admitted it was the wrong call.
Prior to Thursday’s practice, Lawson said one of his coaches relayed him the message that he shouldn’t have been flagged on the play.
"To be honest, I didn't really learn anything. The league came back and said it wasn't pass interference so just got to keep playing,” Lawson said. “Stuff like that happens, so it doesn't discourage me by any means.
