During a competitive game between the Lions and the Seahawks, the referee made an incorrect decision that cost the visiting team two points.

The call came late in the third quarter after Seattle had cut its deficit to 28-20. The Seahawks appeared to make it a 28-22 game after DK Metcalf caught Geno Smith's pass on Seattle's two-point attempt. However, officials discovered that it was an incomplete passport.

Seattle got another chance after officials penalized Detroit's defense on the play. But Smith couldn't connect with Jake Bobo on the replay.

As you can see, Metcalf clearly caught the ball, maintained possession, and was able to stay in the field throughout the entire play. But the officials didn't see it that way.

One could argue that the Seahawks could have challenged the call. You didn't do it and probably decided against it out of fear of losing a timeout. Either way, the officials missed the call and Seahawks paid for it.
