The Detroit Lions somehow found themselves within one score of the Philadelphia Eagles late in their Sunday Night Football showcase and appeared to have mounted a defensive stand to get their struggling offense the ball back in the final minutes. But a dicey pass interference call on Rock Ya-Sin that even Cris Collinsworth couldn't process gave the home team a new set of downs and effectively ended the game.

And if you think that they're going to come out and say that they made a mistake on a crucial, controversial call then you have not been following pool reports with referees for very long.
