The NFL and referee Brad Allen took enough heat from Saturday’s controversial call that wiped away a go-ahead two-point conversion that the league defended Allen in a video sent to all 32 teams, according to a new report from The Athletic. It was the first detailed explanation that the NFL has offered up for the play that has had the Lions up in arms since a 20-19 loss to the Cowboys. The controversy stemmed from whether or not Lions left tackle Taylor Decker reported to the official as eligible to receive a pass on the two-point conversation attempt with 23 seconds left in the fourth quarter. Decker caught a pass in the end zone to convert on the attempt, but officials waved it off, calling illegal touching on the play, setting off a firestorm of criticism.
The video sent by the league, a little under two minutes long, was narrated by senior vice president of officiating training and development Walt Anderson, per the report.
“It is the responsibility of the player to be sure that change in status is clearly communicated to the referee by both a physical signal with his hands up and down in front of his chest and to report to the referee his intention to report as an eligible receiver,” Anderson said in the video, according to The Athletic.
Decker told reporters after the Detroit loss that he had verbally reported to the official, and the NFL’s video also showed him physically reporting as well.
“Very confused,” Lions quarterback Jared Goff told reporters of the call after the game. “What I do know, and I don’t know if I’ll get fined for this, but I do know that Decker reported. I do know that Dan Skipper did not. I do know that they said that Dan Skipper did.”
Allen said tackle Dan Skipper had reported as eligible rather than Decker, and in the video distributed by the league, Anderson echoed that, according to The Athletic.
And since Skipper lined up at right tackle as an eligible player, the Lions had committed an illegal formation foul as well on the play.
“This process has been in place for many years and is intended to provide proper notification to the defense when players are lined up in positions that their number would not allow,” Anderson said in the video. The explanation likely won’t make many football fans happy, nor will the news that Allen and his crew were assigned to Saturday’s nationally televised tilt between the Steelers and Ravens. The game will air on ABC and ESPN and holds plenty of playoff implications for Pittsburgh.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter previously reported Allen and his crew are expected to be downgraded and likely not receive playoff assignments. The Cowboys-Lions game also included another controversial penalty where the crew incorrectly flagged Dallas — and not the Lions’ Aidan Hutchinson — for a tripping call. Allen’s calls will likely face extra scrutiny this weekend.
