NFL Executive VP Troy Vincent: Trey Flowers' 2nd Hands to Face Penalty Was Error

NFL executive vice president Troy Vincent said officials were incorrect calling Detroit Lions defensive end Trey Flowers for a second illegal hands to the face penalty during the Green Bay Packers' game-winning drive Monday night.

Vincent said Flowers' first penalty on the drive was correctly called.

"There was one that was clear that we support. And there was the other, when you look at it, when you review the play, not something that you want to see called in particular on the pass rush. One that you can support but the other one, clearly after you review it, you've seen some slo-mos, the foul wasn't there," Vincent told reporters Tuesday.
