The Detroit city replied to the player reporting incident hilariously. The unexpected loss against the Cowboys by 20-19 handed the team their fifth defeat. The Lions secured a TD with just 23 seconds remaining in the game. With some time left on the clock though, Jared Goff and Taylor Decker went ahead for a two-point conversion. While the catch was taken at the crucial moment, the point was denied to the team.

As per the officials, Taylor Decker should have reported to become eligible, but he didn’t. While the coach Dan Campbell and Decker tried persuading the referee Brad Allen to revert the decision, matters didn’t end up turning in favor of the Lions. The play at the end handed the Lions a heartbreaking defeat at the Cowboys Stadium. Now, back in Detroit City, people have found a hoarding that comically represents their case.

Detroit City not going to let the loss slip away easily!

While roaming in the city of Detroit, one will find a blue-colored Billboard that gives Taylor Decker credit and implies potentially how ‘unfair’ the NFL rule sounded in the scenario. Fox Sports: NFL was quick to share the picture on X. In the post, they took a jab at the incident and wrote, “Billboard in Detroit right now.”

The Billboard referenced how unfortunate the case was for the Lions along with creating a mockery of the decision at last taken by the NFL, turning against the Detroit team. While Brad Allen claimed that he was not informed about Decker’s availability, coach Campbell insisted that he kept the referees in the loop about it.

In the end, the whole situation turned into a huge controversy, with the NFL sending a memo to the teams mentioning specific pointers. Amidst the official scenes, football fans were quick to share their sentiments on the fiasco as they claimed a reality check to be required for the NFL.

Losing a crucial game, that too at the last moment, is a tough pill to swallow. Fans online resonated with this thought, highlighting how difficult the decisions must have been for the Detroit team to accept. Mellow Heights on X conveyed the same, asking the NFL to get better at handling controversial situations.

One fan went a step ahead, humorously remarking on a suggestion to the league. She wants the display to be kept at the NFL headquarters so that they can’t miss the point it is trying to make.

Another fan indicated how Billboard potentially referenced a simple acceptance of the error in decision-making from the NFL:

One spectator continued the humor from the main tweet. Taking a dig at the NFL, they targeted their policy of fining everyone and jokingly mentioned how this incident would cause the league to fine the whole of Detroit City.

One of the Lions’ fans appreciated the comeback made by the Lions in the season and accused the NFL of not being ready to handle it. He further posed the threat of how unleashing the beast within the team won’t pave out well for the league overall.

The Lions have surely made the greatest comeback after all. They have secured a playoff spot for the first time after 2016. The team has won 11 games this season. While there are some concerns about losing momentum as the team has lost 3 of the last 6, their fanbase has continued to extend great support and belief in their team.
