Dubious roughing calls on Packers in loss to Lions seem to draw outrage everywhere but Detroit

The Detroit Lions secured a 20-17 victory over the Green Bay Packers on Sunday, pushing the Packers to a 4-3 record while the Lions improved to 4-2. The outcome was heavily influenced by two controversial roughing the passer penalties assessed against Green Bay defenders.

The first occurred in the third quarter when Brenton Cox Jr. was flagged after minimal contact with Jared Goff.

Later, with the game tied at 17-17, Karl Brooks received a similar penalty that extended a Detroit drive. These calls ultimately helped the Lions move into position for Jake Bates to kick the game-winning field goal as time expired.
