Look: Referee Brad Allen’s explanation of his controversial 2-pt. conversion call

USA Today

The Detroit Lions fell to the Dallas Cowboys, 20-19, in a game that ended with a major controversy over an officiating call by referee Brad Allen. The official called an ineligible touching foul on Lions tackle Taylor Decker despite Decker quite clearly reporting as an eligible receiver before the play.

After every game, the referee is obligated to have a short question-and-answer session with a member of the media.

Here is the full postgame interview session between the designated pool reporter and Allen. Calvin Watkins is the pool reporter, which always comes from the home team and it’s only ever one reporter allowed access to the referee after the game.

That’s his story and Allen is sticking to it.
