Chiefs' Travis Kelce Calls Lions' Controversial Penalty vs. Cowboys 'So Bogus'

Scott PolacekJan 3, 2024

Count Travis and Jason Kelce among those with an opinion about the controversial ending of the Dallas Cowboys' 20-19 victory over the Detroit Lions on Saturday.

Travis Kelce said it was "so bogus" during the brothers' New Heights podcast presented by Wave Sports + Entertainment (1:15:30 mark). He later said, "hate to see it when such a big call like that is such a defining factor in the game."

The play in question happened after the Lions scored a touchdown to pull within one point in the final minute.

They elected to go for the two-point conversion and seemed to convert it with a completion to offensive tackle Taylor Decker. However, the officials said he did not report as eligible and penalized the play.

Detroit elected to go for two again from the 7-yard line and then had another opportunity from the 2-yard line when the Cowboys went offside. Yet it failed each time.

The Kelce brothers were confused why the Lions didn't just kick the extra point and play for overtime when they were at the 7-yard line, but the majority of the conversation after the game revolved around the penalty.

Referee Brad Allen said it was offensive lineman Dan Skipper who reported as eligible, while the Lions said Decker actually did.

Travis Kelce is no stranger to controversy involving Allen, as he officiated the Kansas City Chiefs' Week 13 loss to the Green Bay Packers. Kansas City had an opportunity to tie the game on its final drive, but officials did not call an obvious pass interference by Packers cornerback Carrington Valentine on a deep ball to Marquez Valdes-Scantling.

Green Bay's defense held and won the game.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that Allen's crew is expected to be downgraded with some of them missing a chance to officiate in the playoffs.

The Cowboys' win over the Lions hurt Jason Kelce's Philadelphia Eagles, as they need Dallas to lose one more time for a chance to clinch an NFC East crown and the No. 2 seed in the playoffs.
