GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Awful. It was the first word out of Detroit Lions safety Tracy Walker's mouth late Monday night when he was asked about the unnecessary roughness call against him when he collided with Packers receiver Geronimo Allison on the first play of the third quarter.
Walker was flagged on the play -- and after said he was just going for the ball, criticizing the officiating while explaining it.
"Awful. It was an awful call," Walker said. "I felt like I went for the ball and just so happened we collided, but I was looking for the ball.
