In two separate instances when the Lions made key 3rd down stops, there was a late flag for hands to the face that were shown clearly on replay to be hands firmly holding the collar of the jersey, no face contact at all.
In the first instance, it negated a sack out of FG range, and s/u a 1st down leading to a TD [from down 9 to down 2]
In the second instance, it gave the Lions fresh downs inside the 10, when the 4th down would have resulted in a FG attempt with time left for Detroit.
In between, Detroit had a potential big gain inc when the CB arrived early and draped his arm across the WRs torso, pushing him off-track and hampering his ability to get his arms up to catch. This led to the Lions having to punt up 2.
With the fresh down, game-winning 20-some FG with no time left on clock for 1 pt Packer win.
