ARLINGTON, Texas — CeeDee Lamb could only watch from the sideline in the final seconds of the best game of his career, hoping it would be enough for a 16th consecutive home victory for the Dallas Cowboys.
It was, because the Cowboys survived a 2-point conversion fest with Detroit going for the win. Dak Prescott had two touchdown passes, the first of which was a 92-yarder to Lamb, and Dallas stopped the third 2-point try from the Lions after their first attempt was converted but negated by a penalty with 23 seconds remaining in the Cowboys' 20-19 victory Saturday night.
On the first conversion try after Jared Goff's 11-yard touchdown pass to Amon-Ra St. Brown, Goff completed a pass to lineman Taylor Decker, but Decker was ruled to be an ineligible receiver.
The Lions went for 2 again from the 7-yard line and were stopped on an interception that didn't even reach the end zone, but the Cowboys were called for offsides.
