Detroit Lions Got Two Chances To Kick Game-Winning Field Goal Thanks To Controversial Penalty They Committed
Fox Sports
The controversy began with the Falcons leading 21-19 with four seconds remaining and the Lions lining up for a 43-yard game-winning field goal. The Lions missed the kick to the right and it appeared that the Falcons had won the game.
But the play had been waived off by the officials who penalized the Lions for delay of game.
This gave the Lions a second chance to make the game-winning field goal.
However, replay showed that the Lions appeared to get the snap off before the play clock had reached zero. Assuming the clock on the screen is synced up with the clocks on the field (they usually are), it looks like the flag should have never been thrown.

Of course, as fate would have it, the Lions were marched back five yards and proceeded to make the do over kick and win the game.
