Here's the thing that is confusing about this stance.
If the NFL believes the Lions were at fault for intent to deceive, then why is the league reprimanding the officials and keeping them out of the playoffs?
SHOCKING NEWS!
The NFL is reportedly blaming the Lions for the 2-point fiasco and won't be changing the reporting process.

We can argue play calls, aggressiveness, & clock management after this game.
But there’s one thing that shouldn’t be overlooked: The Bills are one of the best, most complete teams in the league, were 10 point favorites, & the Lions went toe to toe with them.
That’s progress.
