Once you get backed up to the 7 yd line though, just take the extra point and play for OT.  |
It does look like the ref got the numbers mixed up, which created two penalties on the play...illegal touching and illegal formation.
Ref Brad Allen told Cowboys defense 70 was eligible, not 68. So defense wasn't paying attention to 68.
Also the head ref said it over stadium load speaker "number 70 is eligible". You can clearly here it on radio broadcast. Someone on Lions should have caught that and got refs attention.
