The officials missed a huge call in the Packers-Lions game on September 28, 2023. With the Lions leading 23-16 late in the fourth quarter, the Packers were driving for the game-tying score. On third-and-10, Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers appeared to be sacked by Lions defensive end Kevin Strong. However, the officials ruled that Strong had committed a roughing the passer penalty, giving the Packers a first down.
The Packers went on to score a touchdown on the next play, and they eventually won the game 24-23. The missed call was a major turning point in the game, and it cost the Lions a chance to win.
Many people, including Lions head coach Dan Campbell, were critical of the officials after the game. Campbell said that the missed call was “unbelievable” and that it “cost us the game.”
The NFL admitted that the officials made a mistake on the play. In a statement released after the game, the league said that the roughing the passer penalty should not have been called.
The missed call in the Packers-Lions game is a reminder of the importance of officiating in the NFL. One mistake by an official can have a major impact on the outcome of a game.

The NFL should do everything it can to improve officiating. This may include using more technology to help officials make calls, and providing officials with more training.
It is also important for fans to be respectful of the officials. They have a difficult job, and they are not perfect. Fans should not yell at or abuse officials, even when they make mistakes.
By working together, we can create a more fair and enjoyable environment for everyone.
