"The Lions managed to get to the Steeler's 1-yard line before quarterback Jared Goff threw the go-ahead touchdown to receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown. That touchdown, however, was taken off the board due to another receiver being flagged for pass interference. The penalty brought the Lions back to the 11-yard line, and a false start penalty pushed them back even further to the 16-yard line."
"After three more unsuccessful attempts to get back into the end zone, the Lions were on fourth down at the 9-yard line. Goff again threw to St. Brown, but he was stopped short of the end zone. In desperation, St. Brown tossed pitched the ball to his left in the hopes that a teammate could pick it up and score. Goff did just that and the Lions again took the lead."
"The ruling on the field is a touchdown, the referee began. The home crowd at Ford Field erupted into cheers. That was before the rest of the ruling came in. However, the ref continued, pass interference, no. 14 on the offense. By rule, that penalty is no enforced and there is no replay. The game is over. There is no touchdown. The football world was stunned."
