The Lions aren’t happy with the NFL’s officiating office.

Head coach Dan Campbell said after last week’s game that the league office made the call to throw a flag on the Lions’ fourth-down trick play that negated a touchdown. If that truly was the case, it was the right call, but the wrong procedure.

Then, the league suspended defensive back Brian Branch for a game after his postgame fight with JuJu Smith-Schuster.

Now, according to Lions defensive coordinator Kelvin Sheppard, the league has sent out the “Jack Campbell memo.”

The league, according to Sheppard, used the Lions linebacker as the example of aggressively — too aggressively in the league’s view — trying to punch out the ball.

“Look at Jack. I mean, they just sent out a memo and the tape,” Sheppard said, via Kory Woo
