What Lions coach Dan Campbell, referee Alex Kemp said about controversial pass interference penalty
Following the game, referee Alex Kemp commented to pool reporter Zach Berman. He addressed the controversial pass interference penalty.
The Lions' offense was stifled all night by the Philadelphia Eagles in their 16-9 loss, but that was especially the case on fourth down. Campbell kept his offense on the field multiple time Sunday night, but they were unable to convert a single fourth-down.
With the Lions trailing 16-9 late in the fourth quarter on Sunday night and needing one third-down stop to get the ball back and potentially win the game, the defense got that stop on an incomplete pass — only to have the officials rule that Lions cornerback Rock Ya-Sin had committed
The Lions are optimistic about cornerback D.J. Reed's chances of returning for this week's game against the Giants.
Even though it all went wrong in Philadelphia, the Lions remarkably still had a legitimate chance to win the game in the final 2 minutes …until the preposterous pass interference call happened. The frustrating game at least had some positives to carry forward.
