It appears referee Jeff Rice heard the gripes of Packers left tackle David Bakhtiari loud and clear during Monday’s controversial victory over the Lions.

Before Green Bay sealed its fifth win of the season, the offensive lineman said he spoke with the official about Lions defensive end Trey Flowers, who was called for two outrageous hands to the face penalties, one of which set up the Packers’ game-winning field goal.

“I went over to the ref,” Bakhtiari said, according to USA Today. “I said, ‘Hey, are we not calling hands to the face again? Because the past three plays, I’ve been staring at the sky.’ And he’s like, you know, he’s not looking at my side, but I at least made him aware.”

Flowers later spoke out about the much-maligned calls, saying, “I didn’t think hands to the chest was a penalty.”

“I thought hands to the face, but I had him right here in the chest. The second time I changed it to right here [another spot on the chest]. That’s part of a move that I do and, yeah. So, nah, I don’t think that was a penalty, but they did, so…,” he continued, per the Detroit Free Press.

While the NFL has since admitted its missteps in the Packers’ 23-22 victory, Bakhtiari maintains Flowers got up close and personal during the game.

“I can definitely tell you,” he said, “for a good portion of the game, I was getting my throat punched in, and I was looking up at the sky a fair amount. If you think about it, if your hand is in my throat, you’re probably hitting my facemask, which is pushing my head up in the sky.”
