Lions' Trey Flowers on Refs: 'Didn't Think Hands to the Chest Was a Penalty'

The Detroit Lions have every right to be upset with the officials following Monday's 23-22 loss to the Green Bay Packers.

Two late hands to the face penalties on defensive end Trey Flowers during Green Bay's final two drives proved costly, and he told reporters after the game, "I didn't think hands to the chest was a penalty."

The Packers would have been forced to punt trailing by nine with less than 11 minutes remaining had the first penalty not been called, and they ended up scoring a touchdown on the extended possession.
