JUST IN : “So what the hell?”, Lions HC Fires Back At The NFL For Their…

Dan Campbell, the head coach of the Detroit Lions, is not pleased with the NFL’s purported position on the recent eligibility dispute involving his team.

The Lions lost 20-19 to the Dallas Cowboys on Saturday at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, as their game-winning 2-point conversion was wiped out in the last minute.

Detroit was fined by the officials for reporting Dan Skipper, the offensive lineman, as an eligible receiver on the play, when Taylor Decker was the actual player (see the video here).

According to a report published on Monday by Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk, the NFL blamed the Lions for their attempt to “engage in deception and gamesmanship,” which ultimately backfired on them.

During a Tuesday radio appearance on 97.1 The Ticket, Campbell discussed the report.

“Defenses conceal coverage—is that not dishonesty?” Campbell stated through Will Burchfield of 97.1 The Ticket. “So what the devil is that?”

At his press conference on Monday, Campbell seemed ready to move on despite his lingering displeasure with the eligibility difficulties. The coach of the Lions even went so far as to refer to the whole situation as a “blessing” in disguise.
