Lions somehow manage to lose after officials call the apparent winning TD

The Detroit Lions lost to the Atlanta Falcons 30-26 on Sunday in heartbreaking fashion, with the ending so crazy it was hard to believe it happened.

Matthew Stafford had marched the Lions down the field in a two-minute drill without any timeouts. However, on third-and-goal, the Stafford hit Tate on a slant that was initially ruled a touchdown with eight seconds left. After review, the play was overturned and Tate was marked just short of the goal line.

That should give the Lions time to run at least one more play to win the game, right?
