Lions Official: Penalty on 2-Point Try vs. Cowboys 'Worst Call' He's Ever Seen in NFL

The Detroit Lions continued to lament a controversial penalty on a late two-point conversion attempt in Saturday's 20-19 loss to the Dallas Cowboys during the aftermath of the game.

During an appearance on SportsCenter (beginning at the 50-second mark) on Sunday, ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter said a Lions official told him the penalty was the "worst call he had ever seen in a game."

After scoring a touchdown with 23 seconds remaining, Lions head coach Dan Campbell chose to go for two and the lead rather than one and the tie.
