Cowboys defend the star as they neuter the high powered Lions 20 - 19 in a MNF thriller.

Those three straight 2 pt conversions were nerve racking. Detroit is a good team and I love Dan Campbell, but our road woes should cause at least a bit of worry. Still a shot at the division but need some help.

Boy that sure felt like Detroit was playing against Dallas plus the refs, and not even just on that final 2pt conversion try.

The most penalized team had the refs on their side. Brilliant.

Had Hendershot's phantom tripping call not have been called, the Cowboys wrap this game up and the 2-point conversion blunder isn't an issue.

That illegal touching call was not the refs trying to screw Detroit. It appears as though the Lions tricked the refs before attempting to trick the Cowboys on a play where the lineman would be declared eligible to the defense regardless.

The two point try should have ultimately been redone from the 2.
 
Live and in color bold face cheating by the NFL. No way Detroit runs that if they did not know they did everything right by reporting.

A redo should have happened, yes. You can't guarantee Detroit wins.

Also, thoughts on Hendershot being flagged for tripping when the Lions' player tripped?

I actually think Campbell should have kicked it after the bad call. Try your chances in OT.

NFL refs are awful and have zero accountability to worry about. These men actually risk themselves to play this game and their whole thing hangs in the balance of bad employees who never get anything done to them.

Didn't see the play you're talking about, but not surprising if it was called wrong or missed.

They cheated for the chiefs today too against the Bengals. That intentional grounding call was atrocious.
 
The Cowgirls crawled out of there with a win and the team of officials has been banned from the postseason now for costing Detroit the 2 pt conversion that won the game, lol.
They didn't earn the 2 point though, the refs told the Cowboys 70, not 68, was eligible. Try and at least be unbiased

Sure did. It was a terrible call. There was a receiver in the area. The ref who announced the call seemed a bit trepid when doing so. Not a Bengals fan but I guess they needed the Chiefs to win being that they have sucked all year. Can't have Browning going into KC and beating the Fighting State Farm Swifties.

Yes. NFL officiating is atrocious for level they are at. High school refs seem to have more pride.
 
Too many men on the field for the Cowboys at the end of the game cost the Lions a victory. 11 players and at least 3 or 4 officials are hard to overcome.
