Lions fans mock NFL refs with clever billboards in Detroit

The officiating on Monday night during the Green Bay Packers’ 23-22 win over the Detroit Lions had NFL fans everywhere furious.

But the angriest, of course, were die-hards of the team on the wrong end of those terrible calls. Don’t worry, Lions fans found a way to express their anger.

Billboards around Detroit have popped up depicting a photo of a referee with a Packers cheesehead on his noggin, and there are no words around it. The picture says all it needs to say. The assumption is that a Lions fan or a group of them are responsible.

Here they are in all their glory:
