What was a pretty competitive game between the Detroit Lions and Dallas Cowboys for much of Sunday afternoon wound up being a lopsided 24-6 loss for the visitors from Detroit. Myriad mistakes from the Lions, costly turnovers and a few game-altering officiating calls made the outcome look a lot more one-sided than the game truly was.
The Lions led 6-3 at the half in what was largely a defensive struggle. Too many costly mistakes by Detroit and just enough big plays from the Cowboys on both sides of the ball sealed the win. It was 10-6 Dallas with just under three minutes to play.
