I appreciate his honesty.
There isn’t any question that at least four fouls were committed on the play, three against Cowboys and one against the Lions. A hold by Anthony Hitchens, a facemask by Pettigrew, PI on Hitchens and unsportsmanlike conduct on Dez Bryant for running on the field with no helmet on.
Church was brutally honest about the PI.
Barry Church why would you call it? "He was kind of shielding the offensive player. But hey, I'm not a ref."

Barry Church of the Cowboys on the pass interference called back: "I would have called it if I was the ref."

He’s right, he isn’t a ref and you can’t expect the Cowboys to not accept a gift when it is given to them. They got a gift and took advantage of it.
