Detroit Lions tight end Eric Ebron has a bone to pick with the NFL's officiating.

After failing to draw a pass-interference call on the Lions' final offensive play of their 21-14 loss to the St. Louis Rams on Sunday, Ebron is convinced that the refs aren't calling their games fairly. He complained about a perceived bias after the game, via ESPN's Michael Rothstein:

There have been two other occasions this season when questionable calls have cost the Lions a game. The first was in Week 4, when the refs missed Seattle Seahawks linebacker K.J. Wright illegally batting a ball out the back of the end zone. The other was in Week 13, when a brush of quarterback Aaron Rodgers' facemask gave the Green Bay Packers one more chance for a game-winning Hail Mary.

They can say we got our feet tangled. I think it’s pass interference. If it was us against anybody else, it would have been damn pass interference.

Seeing as it was us, it was nothing.

After this Sunday's game against the Rams, the Lions seem to believe the opposition includes both the other team and the refs.
