"NFL Addresses Eligibility Reporting and Referee Controversies Amidst Lions-Cowboys Fallout"

Dean Blandino, former NFL head of officiating, commented on a controversy involving a play from a Lions-Cowboys game, stating that referees would not support a team's attempt to deliberately confuse the opposition about player eligibility. The article highlights the lack of a current NFL figure to provide clear explanations on such matters since Blandino's departure, suggesting the NFL should rehire someone like him to offer transparency and understanding of the rules to fans and media, especially given the league's substantial revenue.
