The Detroit Lions won their Saturday night showdown over the Dallas Cowboys. Well, at least the Lions thought they did for about a hot minute.
After scoring a touchdown with 23 ticks left to trim the Cowboys’ lead to one, Detroit attempted to score a two-point field goal to win the game. The Lions successfully did after Jared Goff found an open Taylor Decker in the end zone. The broadcast showed 21-20 Lions until the officials ruled a flag and claimed that Decker did not make himself eligible to the referees to catch a pass.
The two points were taken away. The Lions failed to score and Dallas wound up holding on for the 20-19 victory to head into the postseason with some momentum.
Lions defensive end Aidan Hutchison was a guest on the St. Brown Brothers Podcast, which is co-hosted by his teammate Amon-Ra St. Brown, and spoke about the controversial ending versus the Cowboys.
“It was a stupid call,” Hutchison said. “It is what it is. I think this is going to motivate us… If we play Dallas again in their place, there’s so much confidence knowing that we should’ve won that game… It’s like a destiny thing now. It’s written in the stars.”
“I just want to run through a brick wall,” St. Brown passionately chimed in. “I’m ready.”
