Kevin O'Connell on Refs' Calls vs. Lions

Transcript

00:00 Kevin, what was the explanation about the Jared Goff fumble

00:03 and completion?

00:04 Yeah, so it was confirmed via the replay assist, which

00:08 was unfortunate because I would have loved to just hear that it

00:12 was an official's ruling, and then maybe I

00:14 could have thrown the flag and took it to the challenge.

00:18 The views that I had, I did not necessarily

00:20 see it the same way, but that's why I'm on our sideline

00:23 and not in the field officiating the game.

00:26 So clearly, maybe there's some views I did not see.

00:32 There was some things that clearly--

00:34 I mean, that's momentum in its purest form

00:37 when your defense can force a turnover

00:39 and get seven points out of it.

00:41 Huge momentum plays.

00:43 There was another, I think, second in 26

00:46 where they got us for a roughing call.

00:49 Have to go back and take a look at that one.

00:51 The illegal contact on Jaylen Williams.

00:54 Just knowing how they were defending us a lot of the day

00:57 with some hands on in the move area.

01:00 Go back and take a look at that as well.

01:02 But the fact of the matter is we didn't do enough

01:04 to win the football game, overcome whatever adversity,

01:06 whether it was injuries or anything else.

01:09 So there were some things there that clearly we've

01:14 either got to coach better from a technique standpoint

01:17 or just get a little clarity on how to do that.
