A missed call on a tripping penalty during the game between the Detroit Lions and Dallas Cowboys potentially led to the controversial penalty that cost the Lions the game. The missed call occurred when the Cowboys intercepted Jared Goff and a run by Tony Pollard was called back due to a tripping penalty on Dallas tight end Peyton Hendershot. However, video review showed that it was actually Lions defensive end Aidan Hutchinson who should have been penalized for attempting to trip Pollard. The missed call gave the Cowboys another chance to score, which they did with a field goal, ultimately leading to the Lions' failed 2-point conversion attempt and their loss.
