NFL Executive Denies League Office Assisted Officials on Jared Goff's Overturned Trick-Play TD

Lions quarterback Jared Goff was at the center of a controversial play in the Week 6 game against the Chiefs, where a trick-play touchdown catch was overturned by an illegal motion penalty. While the call was deemed correct, a dispute arose regarding whether on-field officials received outside assistance, which would violate rules. Referee Craig Wrolstad denied assistance, but Lions coach Dan Campbell claimed he was told officials got help. NFL executive V.P. of football operations Troy Vincent, however, appeared on PFT Live and explicitly denied that the league office assisted in the call, stating, "It was not... We did not assist in that. We didn't have to." Vincent compared the delayed call to intentional grounding discussions.
