In case you missed it, the Cowboys beat the Lions 20-19 in controversial fashion. That’s putting it lightly, too. The Lions scored a touchdown with 23 seconds left in the game and opted to go for two, trying to win in regulation rather than play for overtime.
They ran a trick play on the initial try, successfully throwing to left tackle Taylor Decker in the endzone, but the play was erased after Decker was flagged for illegal touching. The Lions’ second two-point attempt was unsuccessful, but a Cowboys penalty gave them a third shot, which also failed.
However, the Lions insist that they properly informed the officials that Decker was to be reported as eligible, which would have made the play legal.
