For all the wrong reasons, the Dallas Cowboys’ victory over the Detroit Lions on Saturday has been the talk of the sports world. With seconds remaining in the game, the Lions would have taken the lead thanks to a two-point conversion, but a contentious call negated the play. A video showing the referees missing the call emerged after the game. Golden Tate, a former Pro Bowl receiver and Detroit Lion, accused NFL commissioner Roger Jones and the league of manipulating games on social media.
Dallas Cowboys are accused by Golden Tate NFL’s Jerry Jones Regarding Rigging
Tate brought up a terrible call from a previous Cowboys-Lions game. “Jerry Jones answered the phone and dialed the same number he had used to report that PI FLAG back in 2015.” Tate used social media to write. Tate is obviously referring to the 2015 playoff game between the two teams in which there was a pass-interference no-call. The former receiver charges Jones with having an impact on the decisions made on the field.
I don’t believe the referees rigged the game based on my analysis of the play. They are just not very good at what they do. It is obvious that they are unaware of who is merely in the area and who is reporting eligible. There’s a lot of misunderstanding, and the referees stuck with their call. The problem facing the NFL today is that cameras are present everywhere. When a call is entirely missed, it is evident to us and, in this instance, it probably had an impact on the result. The officials have been far too much of a story this season.
