In all the discussion regarding the missed call on the two-point conversion, the mistake on the tripping call is being overlooked.Tony Pollard's 7-yard run on 1st and 10 at the 29 was called back after Dallas tight end Peyton Hendershot was called for tripping, and the Cowboys faced a first-and-25 on the Lions' 44.
Video of that initial first-down play, reviewed by ESPN, showed that Lions defensive end Aidan Hutchinson -- not Hendershot -- should have been the one flagged for attempting to trip Pollard. If the correct call is made the Cowboys have 1st and 10 inside the 20 instead of 1st and 25 at the 44. A penalty against the Lions on that play would have set up the Cowboys with a first down after the two-minute warning and a chance to run more of the clock while forcing the Lions to use their remaining timeouts.
Just boils down to bad officiating during crucial moments of a football game.
