The Detroit Lions suffered a nail biting loss to the Dallas Cowboys on Saturday night coming down to the last seconds. There has been a crazy buzz in the NFL world because of the controversial ending to the game with the Lions going for the two point conversion THREE times to get the win instead of kicking the extra point to bring the game to overtime.
Head Coach Dan Campbell is in line to take home the NFL Coach of the year award and has been known to make these very risky calls with the game on the line. This was another level though, going for the two point conversion three times in a row to win the game is just a mistake in this scenario and is completely unheard of in the NFL.
While the Lions made a great play on their first two point conversion that controversially was taken away, there is no reason to go for it a second time from the 7 yard line unless you don’t have a kicker available or you desperately need the win or are playing for nothing. The lions were not in any of those circumstances as they are one of the best teams in the NFL and are playing meaningful football heading in to the post season..
