Eagles coach Doug Pederson isn't happy about a pivotal call that went against his team during the final minutes of Philadelphia's 24-23 loss to the Lions on Sunday.

With just under three minutes left in the a game that the Eagles were leading 23-21, running back Ryan Mathews took a handoff from his own 45-yard line and proceeded to fumble the ball.

Once the ball hit the turf, there was complete chaos for several seconds before Detroit's Tyrunn Walker was able to fall on the ball, a recovery that eventually led to the Lions' game-winning field goal.
