NFL/CFL Detroit Lions @ Kansas City Chiefs 8:20pm ET 10-12

Key Controversial Calls

1. Nullified Lions Touchdown on Illegal Motion (First Quarter)

The officials initially signaled a touchdown, allowing the Lions to celebrate and line up for the extra point. However, after a prolonged huddle—prompted by Chiefs players' protests—the crew retroactively flagged Detroit for illegal motion, claiming Goff had not come to a complete stop before going in motion.
  • Why It's Questionable: Illegal motion must be called in real time before the snap; post-play flags like this are unprecedented and violate standard procedure. Replays also showed Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones appearing offsides on the play, which went uncalled. Lions head coach Dan Campbell reportedly fumed on the sideline, calling it "the worst call I've ever seen."
This incident drew immediate backlash, with fans labeling it "disgusting" and evidence of "illegal help the Chiefs get each and every week."

2. Defensive Pass Interference on Lions CB Rock Ya-Sin (Second Quarter)

Later, Mahomes targeted Kelce on a deep route. Lions cornerback Rock Ya-Sin was called for defensive pass interference after minimal contact, despite the pass being thrown well out of bounds and uncatchable.
  • Why It's Questionable: Contact was described as "ticky-tack" and incidental in a man-to-man coverage, with no replay shown to justify the call—unlike routine challenges. Critics noted the timing: flagged after the incomplete pass, when the Chiefs were out of downs, raising suspicions of a bailout.

Seems it was good to avoid watching that game.
