Detroit Lions fans feel like their team was robbed by the refs in its Wild Card Game against the Dallas Cowboys in Dallas on Sunday, and now they are making sure that their outrage is seen.
The referees controversially picked up a flag for defensive pass interference against the Cowboys with the Lions leading by three points midway through the fourth quarter. It came on a key third down, and had the penalty stood, it would've given Detroit a first down in field-goal range.
Instead, Detroit faced a fourth down and decided to punt. The ensuing punt went only 10 yards, giving Dallas great field position. The Cowboys went on to score the game-winning touchdown on the ensuing drive, which put this controversial reversal at the center of attention.
The controversial reversal has led to "Detroit Lyin'" billboards popping up:
Short and sweet.
