Overview
- With 1:51 remaining on third-and-8, a DPI on Rock Ya-Sin turned an incomplete pass to A.J. Brown into a first down, ending Detroit’s last chance.
- Crew chief Alex Kemp told a pool reporter an official saw Brown’s arm grabbed and restricted; multiple reports identify field judge Lo Van Pham as the one who threw the flag.
- The penalty could not be reviewed under NFL rules, leaving the on-field decision to stand.
- Broadcaster Cris Collinsworth blasted the call on NBC, and replay angles showed only slight contact that many analysts labeled ticky-tack.
- Detroit’s bigger issues were on offense: 0-for-5 on fourth down (3-for-13 on third), Jared Goff went 14-of-37, and Dan Campbell later said a more conservative approach might have offered better odds as Detroit fell to 6-4 and Philadelphia rose to 8-2.
