During last Sunday’s Playoff game against the Dallas Cowboys, the Detroit Lions QB, Matthew Stafford was mic’d up.
After one of many controversial play calls, one has been in the media the most, the Pass Interference call against the Cowboys. This call reversed and became the first in NFL history…
On that note, Stafford had this to say regarding that call:

“How does that get overturned? How does that get overturned?” he asked, seemingly to no one in particular. “Hey that’s unbelievable. … Congratulations. It’s unbelievable.”

On the sideline, Stafford approached several officials to seek enlightenment on picking up the flag.

“Can I get explained that one? … Can we explain that or no?” Stafford asks, exasperated. “Just flat-out overturning a pass interference call?”

The officials explain the call and why it was reversal.

“I understand, but your man saw it and threw a penalty,” Stafford said. “… I understand that. … But I’ve never in the history seen one turned over. Congratulations, man. First time in history that’s happened.”

By Monday, the NFL admitted to many other mistakes throughout the game on plays that should have been flagged.
