Antonio Brown Suggests Roger Goodell Should Overturn Lions Loss

Should Roger Goodell overturn result of Lions game?

The Detroit Lions losing to the Dallas Cowboys has sparked a nationwide outrage regarding the state of Officiating in the National Football League. 

Even ESPN, which has at times been supportive of the horrid calls made by those deployed by the league to make critical calls, spent a large portion of their postgame coverage heavily criticizing the decision made by officials to rule Taylor Decker illegally touched the football. 

Video evidence, and most likely audio that will be reviewed by investigators, clearly shows Detroit's veteran left tackle followed the rules and declared himself eligible. 

Early Sunday morning, former NFL wide receiver Antonio Brown, who has expressed strong opinions online regarding a wide variety of topics, took to social media Sunday morning to bring up a rule the league's commissioner could enact, to overturn one of the worst calls of the season. 

Brown shared with his large social media following early Sunday morning, "NEWS: Under Rule 17 of the #NFL rulebook, commissioner Roger Goodall has the authority to OVERTURN a game result. #Movietheaters"

Most responded to the controversial receiver the league's Commissioner would never make that decision, as their was still time remaining on the clock and there was still an opportunity for quarterback Dak Prescott to lead his team for a comeback attempt. 

One follower wrote, "Detroit beating Dallas in Jerry’s world doesn’t fit the #NFL storyline. That s**t would be to real . Detroit’s used to this type of thing happening, it’s all good. Feel bad for the Vikings next week at ford field though, laaawrrt! Would love to see Dallas in the playoffs."
