Detroit doesn’t seem to be over its controversial Week 17 loss to Dallas.
The Detroit Lions may have already made the playoffs and will not have anything to play for this weekend but that could’ve been much different if they had won last week’s game.
Offensive lineman Taylor Decker hauled in a catch to take a 21-20 lead, but head referee Brad Allen chalked it off due to illegal touching, as they said Decker did not report to be an eligible receiver but rather Decker’s fellow OL Dan Skipper.
The controversial ruling has been the talk of the NFL world in recent days, and Detroit wants it to stay that way ahead of Week 18 as billboards were spotted in Detroit that read ‘Decker Reported’ in white lettering on a blue backdrop.
The digital billboards cycle between that and their current record of 11-5 crossed out with 12-4 written by it, suggesting maybe what their record should be.

Dan Campbell said the Lions are moving on but the fan base is not letting this go.
The Detroit Lions currently possess the No. 3 seed in the NFC playoff standings. Both the Eagles and Cowboys would need to fall in Week 18, and the Lions would need to defeat the Vikings at Ford Field for them to get the number 2 seed.
