Pass interfence call helps Lions cut deficit

It didn’t look like San Francisco cornerback Chris Culliver did anything illegal, but on one-on-one coverage against Titus Young, Culliver was called for pass interference.

The questionable call gave the Lions a free 33 yards, and moved them across midfield.

The Lions couldn’t get anything else going, though, and had to settle for a field goal, and Jason Hanson knocked it through from 38 yards.
