Ex-NFL wideout Golden Tate accuses Jerry Jones of rigging games

By now, you've seen the controversial ending in the recent Week 17 game between the Dallas Cowboys and Detroit Lions at AT&T Stadium in Arlington.

With just 23 seconds remaining in regulation, the Lions scored a touchdown to come back within a point of the Cowboys. And as is his custom, Lions head coach Dan Campbell elected to go for the win rather than playing it safe and kicking a field goal for the tie.

And the successful play that saw quarterback Jared Goff fire a perfect pass to offensive lineman Taylor Decker proved to be the winning play of the game - until the play was reversed after referee Brad Allen determined that Decker never appropriately informed him that he was an eligible receiver despite video evidence showing otherwise.

The Lions would then try two more times for the two-point conversion, gaining a third chance after Micah Parsons was whistled for a penalty. Detroit's attempts proved fruitless, and the Cowboys held on for yet another victory at home.

And while there are plenty of people speaking out over their view that the Lions may have gotten shafted by the NFL, one particular former Lions wide receiver is going so far as to accuse team owner and general manager Jerry Jones of intentionally ordering the League to rig the game in his team's favor - even making reference to another infamous incident between the two teams in the 2015 postseason in which a pass interference penalty flag was inexplicably picked up by the officials, fueling massive controversy.

“Jerry Jones picked up the phone and made that same call he made back in 2015 when they picked up that PI FLAG,'' Tate wrote on social media.
