The Dallas Cowboys playoff win over the Detroit Lions was a big story in itself. But, one play is being talked about more than that win where the refs picked up a pass interference flag. As it turned out, that may have been the right call. Here's why.

Holding a 4 point lead with less than 9 minutes to play, the Lions faced a 3rd and 1. Lions QB, Matthew Stafford threw incomplete to tight end Brandon Pettigrew, but Cowboys LB Anthony Hitchens was flagged for pass interference. After the officials met about the call, they reversed it sending Lions fans across the country in a frenzy.

Now, as a Cowboys fan myself, of course I was happy about the call. At the same time, I thought we might have gotten away with one. But, in my opinion, the refs made a lot of bad calls. Like the roughing the kicker penalty that we got when it was clearly not. Or, when the same thing happened to our kicker and it wasn't called. Hey, it's football, things happen.

Anyway, back to the play at hand. There was clearly some interference going on - but, by both Pettegrew and Hitchens. In fact, as you'll see in the vine below, Pettegrew even grabbed Hitchen facemask which should have been a penalty. Check it out.

See, both players were grabbing each other. Should it have been pass interference? Honestly, it could have gone either way. Did this play help the Lions lose the game? I don't think so. The Lions had every opportunity to win the game several times, but failed to do so. I mean if you go up by 14 points in the first quarter of a football game and then don't score much the rest of the game, then that's your own fault.

I'm sure I'll get crucified by every anti-Cowboys fan on the planet for those words. But, the final score will still be 24-20 Cowboys. I just wished we didn't get embarrassed by the creepy hugging going on between the Jones' and New Jersey Governor, Chris Christie at the end of the game.
