Did Refs Make Right Call Picking Up Pass-Interference Flag in Cowboys vs. Lions?

In a 20-17 game, the referees at AT&T Stadium made a crucial call that went in favor of the Dallas Cowboys.

On 3rd-and-1, the Detroit Lions took to the air in hopes of picking up a big third-down conversion. Quarterback Matthew Stafford used play action to free up tight end Brandon Pettigrew.

Covered by Cowboys linebacker Anthony Hitchens, Stafford lofted the ball up toward his big tight end.

Hitchens broke up the pass, but right away a flag was thrown. As you can tell by the Vine user ProsFB posted below, Hitchens never turned his head or played the ball:

Then, out of nowhere, referee Pete Morelli picked up the flag and reversed that decision. That forced the Lions to punt the football away to the Cowboys.

Bleacher Report's NFL Twitter account provided a great picture detailing the incident:

As you would expect, the world of social media exploded with emotions. Bleacher Report's Mike Freeman's sentiments on Twitter echoed just about what everyone was saying:

That no-call allowed Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo to hit wide receiver Terrance Williams for a go-ahead touchdown with 2:39 left the game.

So, what do you think? Was that the right call? Or was it pass interference?
