Luck favored the Cowboys against the Lions

On Johnson’s honor ring enshrinement day, the Cowboys did not disappoint him. They ensured a hard-fought and last-minute winner against the Lions, taking their home record to a stellar 8-0. On the other hand, it was a disappointing night for the Lions who were overturned seconds before the game ended.

The game was a roller-coaster ride for both teams. The pendulum swung between two in each quarter.

The Lions took the first lead that the Cowboys broke through a brilliant Dak Prescott–CeeDee Lamb connection. In the fourth quarter, the Cowboys were in a comfortable position when the Lions took charge. They scored a touchdown and went for a two-point drive. In astonishment, they even scored and started celebrating with less than 23 seconds to go. Little did the team had idea that their drive would be overturned by the referees.

Both Prescott and CeeDee Lamb had a good game. Lamb was exceptional as he broke the record of Michael Irvin‘s franchise record of most receptions and receiving yards in a single season.
