The much-anticipated Sunday Night Football game between the Lions and Eagles came to a disappointing finish when Detroit cornerback Rock Ya-Sin was controversially called for pass interference while guarding Philadelphia receiver A.J. Brown.
Leading up to the lackluster ending, the Eagles’ defense held the Lions’ often-explosive offense in check throughout much of the game while their offense took a 16-6 lead early in the fourth quarter. After stuffing two straight Eagles tush push attempts later in the quarter, the Lions managed to get another field goal on the board to with 1:58 remaining and all three timeouts to make it a one-score game. If they could get the ball back, they’d have the opportunity to drive down and attempt to score a game-tying touchdown.
