Lions admit LB grabbed facemask
Sure, the Detroit Lions will acknowledge they got a break when linebacker DeAndre Levy grabbed the facemask of Minnesota quarterback Joe Webb on the final play in Sunday's win.
The Lions held on to beat the Vikings 34-28 after avoiding a flag on Levy that would've given Minnesota one more shot to win with no time on the clock. ![[Image: 404883_309243369121404_100001072297042_8...2649_n.jpg]](http://sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash4/s320x320/404883_309243369121404_100001072297042_859381_1764602649_n.jpg)

Why not, it was on tape. They couldn't actually lie about it. I am sure the team saw the reports also.

So what would happen, officially, if the penalty is obviously proven so much "after the fact"? Are there any possible sanctions coming down the pike for Detroit? |

RE: Lions admit LB grabbed facemask
Not really. Even if the penalty was called, it would not have guaranteed the Vikings win. It was just a missed call, they happen all the time. It is hard to believe that it was missed. Refs usually see this kind of stuff because they are watching the ball a lot.
