Ask Lions fans
That was the ref’s fault and the Lions players fault for not making sure everyone knew who was eligible. How did the Cowboys cheat? You threw it out there, just want you to explain.
Every video and audio audience points to Lions making refs aware of player's eligibility. Even Lions coach showed that exact play to refs in pregame. If you cant see what the refs did is fishy maybe you just dont understand the sport. This is a rare occurance where everyone except the Cowboys fans is in consensus that Lions got screwed, there is no ifs buts maybes here.
If it were clear who was reporting eligible then why did the ref announce #70 was eligible? As soon as the Lions heard the ref announce #70 is eligible they should have cleared it with the ref. It’s not up to the Cowboys to determine who was eligible, they have to go with who the ref tells them. It appears to me the Lions were trying to confuse the Cowboys by having multiple players go up to the ref. They messed up though and confused the ref. Again, that’s not on the Cowboys. The Cowboys can only go with what the ref tells them, and he announced that #70 was eligible.
As for this supposed “conspiracy theory” that the NFL is trying to help the Cowboys, that’s just asinine. You clearly don’t watch the games (including this one). If there were some league wide conspiracy to help the Cowboys then why did they call Peyton Hendershot for tripping on the prior series instead of Hutchinson? Pollard got a 1st down on that play and the game should have been over there because the Cowboys would have run the clock out and they would have won. Instead they called it on Hendershot negating Pollard’s 1st down and the Lions got the ball back.
Also if there were a conspiracy to help the Cowboys why hasn’t Micah Parsons drawn a holding penalty since week 6?
