Total screw job by the refs
Lions won that game
Unless you are 100% sure they did NOT report you don't throw that flag. Barbie needed to calm down there.
A covered player doesn't magically become eligible just because he declares himself. Declaring yourself eligible is a jersey number issue, not an alignment issue.
Except you can see the receiver tell the side judge that he is off the ball and not covering the end man on the line of scrimmage. Just say you don't know ball.

He can tell him all he wants, the still shot clearly indicates he is not far enough off the ball to constitute being legally off the ball. And give the guy ESPN pays to explains the rules agrees with me I'll go ahead and tell you to go **** yourself.

58 was the decoy
68 reported

A professional ref needs to be calm andd make sure he understands why people are coming up to you. Why else would he be going over there?
Screw job.

I understand that but refs heads should roll when they screw up the game winning play Sorry - it's not the same.

Refer to the screencaps above. Receiver is clearly in the backfield.
One thing I love about this site is you get a clear picture of how many posters have actually spent years between the lines and how many peaked in junior high.

Says the guy who thinks linemen reporting is an issue of alignment instead of jersey number

admit you were wrong on the guy being covered up
you can be the bigger man here
Here is the other one: not a great angle but there is no way Hendershot should have been called for tripping. Hutchinson? Perhaps. Holding? Maybe. But no way on tripping. Will need to see the all 22. pic.twitter.com/DRbafoxjrw

Typically why you don't run out multiple guys with numbers 50-79 checking in to be eligible on a playDannyDuberstein said:
The risk of running decoys is faking out the refs too.

They said on the broadcast later w the ESPN official that it's the responsibility of the player to make sure the ref sees you. There were 3 OL coming over to the ref. That is 100% on 68.
Just gotta take those. Superstars like Hutchinson get those calls.Macarthur said:

The ref literally ran from him

He was clearly going to check in 70 w the defense. It is the responsibility of the player to make sure he's checked in.
