Matthew Stafford, the quarterback for the Los Angeles Rams, understands and is sympathetic to the frustration that Detroit Lions fans are experiencing after losing a call due to officiating once more.
Following the most horrific penalty call of the 2023 season on Saturday night at AT&T Stadium, the majority of former Lions players, referees, film analysts, and commentators have concluded that Detroit was wrongfully punished for a two-point conversion try that they made late in the game.
Stafford was a member of the Lions team in 2014 when an official decided to raise the flag during a postseason game against the Cowboys for no apparent reason. In addition, the gifted quarterback was called incomplete on a touchdown pass to Calvin Johnson against the Bears in 2010.
On the latest episode of the “Morning After” podcast, Kelly Stafford revealed how she and the veteran signal-caller reacted when Brad Allen and his crew incorrectly penalized Detroit for illegal touchdown
“Holy s**t. It happened again,” Detroit’s former starting quarterback said, according to his wife.
She went on to explain, “Can I tell you the biggest scam of 2023? That Lions game. They (expletive) y’all “It doesn’t matter if the game is in Dallas. There’s always rules made up when something happens with the Lions. Whether this is an NFL script or not where they want the Rams to play the Lions and they’re working to make that happen. I know people laugh at the idea of a script, but I’m kinda a believer in the script.”
