Lions-Cowboys fiasco prompts NFL to send memo on proper reporting of eligible receivers

The Detroit Lions took on the Dallas Cowboys last Saturday in a matchup that had NFL fans everywhere questioning the end result.

As the Lions lined up for a potential game-winning two-point conversion in the closing seconds, the team was penalized as they were told that Taylor Decker was not eligible on the attempt that successfully converted the play.

The Lions were then handed a penalty from the officials, with their successful conversion nullified as a consequence because two players cannot report as eligible.

Now the NFL is aiming to clarify eligible reporting with a memo that includes video of the incident, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network:
