NFL officials stoked drama during the Green Bay Packers\u2019 win over the Detroit Lions<\/a> on Thursday over a controversial decision to grant head coach Matt LaFleuer a timeout when it appeared his team committed a false start penalty.<\/p>\n

The issue occurred late in the second quarter while the Packers were on the 2-yard line on fourth down with about 2:16 left in the first half. Jordan Love<\/a> called for the ball but it appeared one of his offensive linemen jumped. However, officials said LaFleur was able to call a timeout before the penalty was committed.<\/p>\n

A replay showed otherwise.<\/p>\n

The Packers would score a touchdown to end the drive \u2013 a 2-yard touchdown pass from Love to Romeo Doubs. Green Bay won the game, 31-24.<\/p>\n

NFL referee Ron Torbert defended the decision to grant the Packers a timeout in an interview with a pool reporter after the game.<\/p>\n

LaFleur was asked about the incident after the game.<\/p>\n

“Of course they got it right,” LaFleur said with a wink. “I was calling timeout.”<\/p>\n

NFL fans weren\u2019t so sure and expressed it as much on social media.<\/p>\n

Love finished 18-of-30 with 234 passing yards and four touchdown passes. Two of the touchdown passes were to Dontayvion Wicks \u2013 his first two of the season. Doubs and Christian Watson had the other two.<\/p>\n

Wicks had six catches for 94 yards.<\/p>\n

Lions quarterback Jared Goff<\/a> was 20-of-26 with 256 passing yards and two touchdown passes. Jameson Williams turned into his primary target as Amon-Ra St. Brown left the game with an injury. He had seven catches on 10 targets for 144 yards and a touchdown.<\/p>\n

The Packers improved to 8-3 with the win and the Lions fell to 7-5.<\/p>\n
