"NFL Referee Crew Benched After Missed Calls in Lions-Cowboys Game Controversy"

The NFL officiating crew led by referee Brad Allen, which was involved in a controversial call during the Lions-Cowboys game, has been downgraded for the postseason. The controversy arose after the Lions' go-ahead 2-point conversion was nullified due to penalties, leading to a Cowboys victory with significant playoff implications. Despite claims from Lions' players that they had reported as eligible receivers, Allen maintained that the correct calls were made. This is not the first controversy for Allen's crew, as they were previously involved in a missed pass interference call in a game between the Packers and Chiefs. The downgrading means that while Allen's crew will see reduced roles, it is unclear if Allen himself will officiate in the postseason.
