Officials are having a tough night in the first half of the Week 14 game between the Detroit Lions<\/a> and Dallas Cowboys<\/a>.<\/p>\n

First, the New York office overturned a clear safety<\/a> in the first quarter after the Lions sacked Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott.<\/p>\n

Then, in the second quarter, the Cowboys clearly jumped offsides on a third down, yet no flag was thrown.<\/p>\n

In fact, it was so clear the Cowboys jumped offsides that Lions quarterback Jared Goff thought he had a free play and threw one up down the sideline to wideout Jameson Williams, only to find out no penalty was called.<\/p>\n

Here’s the play in question.<\/p>\n

Why Cowboys weren’t called for offsides<\/p>\n

Yeah, we don’t know, either.<\/p>\n

How an entire field of officials didn’t throw a flag on that play is beyond anyone’s comprehension.<\/p>\n

Making matters worse, Williams looked like he was interfered with on the pass from Goff.<\/p>\n

Rest assured, if the Lions lose this game, we’ll be re-visiting both blown calls after, and especially the overturned safety, which cost Detroit two points.<\/p>\n
