The Detroit Lions don’t always get the breaks in terms of officiating to go their way, but that wasn’t the case for one play Sunday afternoon against the Philadelphia Eagles at Lincoln Financial Field.
Eagles running back Miles Sanders (no relation to Barry) had his facemask grabbed blatantly and his neck twisted by Miles Killebrew. However, no penalty was called on the play.
Miles Sanders almost had his head ripped off and there was no flag on the play. What?! pic.twitter.com/hxrevyxeDi

Does this make up for all of the blatant calls that have gone against the Lions over the years?
