They were driving for the go-ahead touchdown. Just before receiver Calvin Johnson crossed the goal line for that score, Seattle safety Kam Chancellor knocked the ball from Johnson’s hands. Teammate K.J. Wright batted the ball out of the end zone.
Seattle ball.
Except, in this case, Wright’s move was illegal. A penalty should have been called, giving the Lions the ball at the Seattle 1.
Instead, Seattle got the ball at the 20, ran the clock out and once again became the beneficiary of an officiating blunder.
The officials totally blew it. Specifically, back judge Gregory Wilson.
