It's not just that. It's zero penalties in nearly 50 minutes. It's comparing a call like that to the call against Dallas where a clear safety gets waved off.
This is a game between two top-five teams talent-wise. You can only gift one of them so many possessions and so many first downs before it makes a huge difference. Here we are.
Blatant block in the back not called on that return, so they don't even care. Will we be the first team in NFL history to finish two games in one season without the benefit of a single penalty?
Now that we are three quarters in with no calls against the Rams, I'll predict that a call will go against the Rams with it nearly out of hand, make the box score look better.
Man coverage just isn't getting it done. No one within a yard of him on another crucial third down.
Close but no cigar is the motto of the day for the defense so far.
The penalties that have been called against the Lions today have been brutal and consequential.
The penalties that have been called against the Rams? Oh, well never mind.
