Report: NFL tells Dallas Cowboys they missed 7 penalty calls against Detroit Lions

[TexasTowelie]

The Detroit Lions have received non-stop media attention for two blown calls by the officials in the team's 24-20 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. Heck, even President Obama has weighed in on the matter.

But blown calls are a two-way street, and according to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, the Cowboys submitted 10 questionable officiating decisions to the league and the NFL has admitted the officials failed to flag the Lions seven times.

Only two specific examples were provided by reporter Clarence Hill Jr. The first, a missed hands to the face call that knocked offensive lineman Jeremy Parnell's helmet off.

The second, and far more relevant to the finish of the game, was a defensive holding committed by Lions safety James Ihedigbo on Dallas tight end Jason Witten on a third-and-8 play with 6:44 remaining in the fourth quarter.

2. This all happened after the picked up flag.

The game would have been out of reach for the cowboys by then. Call all the penalties you want. This is weak tea IMO.
