Stafford admitted that the Lions still had a chance to win after the incident, but is still shaking his head about the pivotal role the referees had in the outcome of the game.
"The worst part, the worst thing that can happen is for the refs, the third part of that game, to play a big role in it," Stafford said Sunday. "The Cowboys were playing good football, we were playing good football, we would have liked to decide that a little bit more on the field."
