Bad Officiating Hits NFL Again as Brad Allen and Crew Appointed to Handle Steelers-Ravens Game

Brad Allen and Co. have been selected to officiate the Steelers vs. Ravens battle after last week’s debacle. The football world has not overcome their controversial decision that cost the Lions a heartbreaking loss, 20-19. After securing a touchdown in the last 30 seconds, the Lions went for a conversion game. Everything went great until Brad Allen’s team called a penalty.

The Lions were about to rewrite history at the Cowboys stadium. The last-second debacle raised questions about Brad Allen’s team officiating important games. The thrilling contest between the Lions and the Cowboys handed the latter their 11th victory. On the other hand, the Lions were handed their fifth defeat at a crucial stage. The playoffs are around the corner, and the NFL has again appointed Allen and the squad to officiate the Week 18 game.

Amidst backlash, Brad Allen and Co. will officiate again

The penalty call against Taylor Decker has taken the NFL world by storm. The team was penalized for not reporting their mark at 70 and insisted it was 68. Head coach Don Campbell was furious and said the officials were duly kept in the loop. Still, Brad Allen clarified that he and his team had no information. What a way to lose a sure-shot winning game. Instead of making some considerable decisions, the NFL is on its way to doing quite the opposite.

Adam Schefter broke the news by posting on X. He reminded fans, “Referee Brad Allen and his crew – who last worked Saturday night’s Lions-Cowboys game – have been assigned to Saturday’s Steelers–Ravens game.” He added a sarcastic tone to his post and wrote, “So back on national television.” Adam Schefter is somewhat correct in his stance.

The players get penalized, the referees pass by unharmed

Despite HC Cambell’s take and team stands, the decision stood right, and a mere conversational error cost the Lions the second last game of the regular season. The team has secured their spot in the playoffs after 2016 and will face the 49ers next. They will be relieved that Brad Allen and his brigade will not officiate in the game against the NFC topper.

The question remains if Brad Allen and his team have made a shocking decision that left Detroit’s fanbase furious with the NFL. The NFL’s recent decision will elicit even more concerns as Allen and Co. prepare to officiate the Steelers vs. Ravens game. The Steelers’ playoff hopes are hanging by a threat at only 29%. It’s a must for them to win, and Allen will have to be a little more careful in the future.
