Lions fans have the right to be angry.
The committee, a group of league coaches and executives that examine rules and officiating practices each offseason, was frustrated by the Seattle-LA game, as were the Lions and Rams, Schefter reports.
"One source told ESPN this week that the NFL must do a better job of screening, hiring and training its officials," he said,"the league can't have games in which teams' seasons are on the line and have questionable and impactful calls such as the ones in the Rams-Seahawks Week 18 game."the seventh and final spot in the NFC playoffs. Seattle played Sunday afternoon while Detroit played at night, meaning the Lions knew the result of that game when they took the field.
– Later in the quarter, tied at 16, Rams corner Jalen Ramsey was called for an unnecessary roughness infraction on Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith that would make Dick Lane shudder in disbelief. Not only did officials possibly err in throwing the flag in the first place but Seahawks wideout DK Metcalf was seen sticking his finger inside Ramsey's facemask after the play, which should have prompted a penalty.
