Officials said they didn’t have a clear view of an apparent face mask on Vikings QB Sam Darnold, so there was no penalty called on the play, which was not reviewable.

      As a Detroit guy, I am so so so terribly conflicted by this.

      A Minnesota loss is always good.

      I still have love for staff daddy.

      Blatantly missed calls and brand new rules needed to be made calls have been our legacy.

      That the refs are pulling the same shit on other teams is schadenfreude.

      But, having been through it game after game after season after season afer decade, I feel for them.

      Barely.

      That said, there absolutely need be some mechanism to review egregious penalties and phantom rule violation alike.
