Head Coach Dan Campbell Sends 10GB of Evidence to NFL Proving Officiating Bias in Controversial 24–31 Lions-Packers Game
Detroit, Michigan – 11/29/2025
After the bitterly disputed 24–31 loss to the Green Bay Packers at Ford Field, the Detroit Lions turned rage into action. According to sources from the Detroit Free Press, head coach Dan Campbell has officially submitted 10GB of video, audio, and frame-by-frame analysis to the NFL to prove multiple blatantly biased calls by the officiating crew. The unprecedented move has sent shockwaves across the entire league, especially since several game-changing moments appear to have been flat-out wrong.
The most egregious incident was the non-call of a clear false start by the Packers on a 4th-and-1 from the 2-yard line. High-definition footage shows RT Anthony Belton moving early, an obvious violation that should have resulted in a five-yard penalty. Yet the officials ruled Matt LaFleur had called timeout before the infraction, a claim multiple angles prove is factually incorrect. The non-call allowed Green Bay to keep the down and score a touchdown on the very next play, completely flipping the game’s momentum.
Very questionable timeout call here by the refs: You can see Packers HC Matt LaFleur come in late for the timeout.

According to the report the Lions submitted, the 10GB package includes All-22 film, HD broadcast replays, sideline audio, and millisecond-by-millisecond breakdowns. Independent analysts hired by Detroit confirmed the Packers’ timeout came after Belton’s movement. More damningly, the crew relied on “subjective judgment” instead of clear visual evidence. That is exactly why Campbell chose to escalate the matter to the league office rather than quietly accept defeat.
At the post-game press conference, Campbell could barely contain his frustration:“ We ask these guys to bleed for this team every single week, and then we’re supposed to tell them to just swallow a call that unfair? I respect officials, but respect doesn’t mean ignoring the truth. We’re just asking for a fair field, for Detroit and for this entire league.” His words immediately went viral.
While the NFL has yet to issue an official response, Campbell’s actions send an unmistakable message: the Lions will no longer stay silent when their rights are violated. In a season where Detroit has Super Bowl aspirations, the sense of injustice from the Packers game has pushed them past their breaking point. Even if the result can’t be overturned, the fight for transparency that Campbell just started could have a lasting impact on how the NFL oversees its officiating crews moving forward.
