The Detroit Lions had another strange penalty call against them added to their long history of strange penalty calls against them in Sunday’s 37-35 loss to the Minnesota Vikings.
People far and wide questioned referee Adrian Hill’s roughing-the-passer penalty on Lions safety Tracy Walker early in the fourth quarter that appeared to stop a key Vikings drive.
GRADES:Lions' dreadful defense, awesome offense but the coaching...
On fourth-and-goal from the Detroit 1, Walker sacked quarterback Kirk Cousins. But Hill quickly called the penalty on Walker, which led to a fresh set of downs that resulted in a touchdown that extended the Vikings’ 2-point lead and put them ahead, 37-29, with 10:32 left.
