The Lions gained John Carlson Jersey 3 yards, not 2 yards or 1 1/2 yards, on their third-to-last play in to the Bears because Kenny Golladay said so. And game umpire Mark Nicklas Backstrom Jersey Pellis apparently was cool with it.
The Detroit wide receiver, in a hurry asthe clock was winding with under 20 seconds left in the Ilya Samsonov Jersey game,spotted the ball himself after making a catch. He appeared to be down at the Bears' 26-yard line Michal Kempny Jersey or 27-yard line, depending on how one viewedhis forward progre s, but he put the ball down on the righthash at the 25. Pellis picked up the ball and put it back down, taking away maybe an Aaron Ness Jersey inch or two from Golladay's originalspot.

Gotta love Galloday spotting himself an extra yard and a 1/2 on this play and the ref co-signing it.

Lions quarterback Jeff Driskel, who was playing Sunday in place of , spiked the ball to kill the clock as soon as Tom Wilson Jersey Pellis backed away from the line of scrimmage. Detroit's last-second Hail Mary fell incomplete.
So Golladay's Rod Langway Jersey inaccurate spot didn't matter. It was still amusing.
Pellis, for what it's worth, is in his sixth year Dennis Maruk Jersey as an NFL official. He is a signed to referee Carl Cheffers' crew in 2019.
