Lions obviously screwed by huge call in Rams loss (but it shouldn't have mattered)

Detroit was robbed of an obvious stop, but it shouldn't have come down to that call.

The Detroit Lions have found themselves in the middle of a refereeing controversy for yet another week of NFL action. Against the Los Angeles Rams, the Lions had managed to seemingly get a stop against tight end Colby Parkinson at the one yard line. His knee was down while he retained possession of the football.

Apparently, though, we don't actually know the various definitions of what makes a touchdown.
