Barry Sanders Rips Lions vs. Packers Refs, Calls Late Penalties 'Sickening'

Hall of Fame running back and Detroit Lions legend Barry Sanders is not happy the officials potentially cost his former team the game during the Green Bay Packers' 23-22 victory on Monday night.

Sanders expressed his frustration accordingly:

Barry Sanders

That is sickening... the @NFL needs to look at a way to prevent that from happening. Two phantom hands to the face calls really hurts us tonight. Yes, we could have scored TDs, but @Lions played too well to have the game end this way. #DETvsGB @espn

I know that no one on the @lions can say it, so I will.
