Fans couldn't believe the referees missed DK Metcalf's catch on a two-point conversion attempt

DK Metcalf was robbed of a catch on Monday night, and a big one at that.

After the Seattle Seahawks scored a touchdown with 3:03 left in the third quarter to cut their deficit to the Detroit Lions to eight points (28-20), they decided to attempt a two-point conversion. Quarterback Geno Smith dropped back and fired a pass in the direction of star wideout DK Metcalf. He made a diving catch on the side of the end zone, but it was ruled incomplete. But that's not the end of the drama.

Lions cornerback Carlton Davis was called for pass interference, giving Seattle another shot at the two-point shot. They failed when Smith misfired on a pass intended for Jake Bobo. But they didn't need to try again because it was pretty clear Metcalf had made the catch.

Replays showed Metcalf put his right knee down on the inbounds and secured the ball, meaning the catch should have been good. The replay officials are responsible for reviewing the game and have decided not to do so.

Fans were shocked that the piece was not reviewed and reverted.

The NFL has some explaining to do on this matter.
