Game that lifted Seahawks into playoffs, eliminated Lions called ‘worst officiated’ contest of the year
There are some around the NFL who believe the “Lions should be livid” after some awful officiating helped the Seattle Seahawks win a game that ended Detroit’s playoff hopes.
Going into Week 18, a Seattle victory over the Rams would eliminate Detroit from playoff contention. That is exactly what happened after the Seahawks defeated the Rams in overtime, 19-16. However, the victory is under fire from around the league for “calls [that] benefited the Seahawks, hurt the Rams, and ultimately impacted the Lions.”
On Saturday, ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter reported that the NFL competition committee, Lions and Rams were all upset by calls — or lack of them — in what one source called “the worst officiated game of the year.”
