Officiating is why the Lions won this game.

Lions won because we couldn't put the game away with 5 minutes left. Instead of scoring a TD, we kick a stinking FG to go up 23-10 instead of 27-10 with 5 minutes left.

Blame the refs if y'all want, but giving up a 73 yard TD with less than 4 minutes to go and up by 13 is pure hot garbage.

We certainly had our fair share of mistakes. I won't argue that. We stopped them though, and we held. The refs gave them the game, sorry boss

If you say so. But we wouldn't have even been in a position to let the officiating dictate the game's outcome if we put them away 27-10 with 5 minutes to go. Make it a 3 possession game with 5 minutes to go is a kill-shot.

This is what great teams do, and we are certainly not a great team.

Yes, we made mistakes, agreed, but we did our job, and they gave them the ball back after we did it.
