Engaged with a block from Lions safety Charles Washington, a Sam Martin punt landed within feet of them. Packers punt returner Tramon Williams said officials originally told team it hit Detroit first, but then they ruled it was Detroit's ball, saying it touched King first.

The play was subject to review since it was a turnover, but there wasn't enough evidence to overturn the call. King maintains the ball did not touch him.

"It didn't hit me," King said. "When I was out there on the field, I was actually like, I (looked up) and (saw) it actually hit him. The thing is, if you see my reaction, if it would've hit me, I would've turned around and tried to get it. I just ran off the field. I thought they were celebrating because they downed it at the 1. I didn't even know that's what they were cheering about until, like, the replay. No, it didn't hit me, though."

Entering the year as Green Bay's top cornerback, King has nine tackles in three starts this season. With his chin healing up, he's eager to get back on the field against the 49ers.

While his first round of stitches resulted in him having to get carted to the locker room, King maintains he could have returned if there was more time left in the game.
