Note to Lions offensive coordinator, the left side of your OL is not getting it done tonight.

he’s the guy everyone is touting as the next big thing. I’m not getting it
Lions have a very good offense, a QB that was given up on, and a head coach who doesnt seem like an X's and O's guy. Makes some sense the OC would get a lot of credit I guess.

They do have a ton of talent on O though, I'm not sure how much really is coaching related.

Or, the Cowboys have a stellar front seven
They are great but the Lions can’t even get in front of them to slow them up for a half step sometimes.

Even so, TD! (A bit of a hold, but it doesn’t matter if they don’t call it!)

Aikman is having a night for himself with his commentary.

His best MNF performance, on a Saturday night?

My old man mind is kicking in, and this may be from the 70's, but doesn't Dallas always want to wear the white unis?
Or is this some mandated B.S from the league?
Maybe they have to wear whites 8 times and team colors 9 times (or vice versa). I really can't think of any other explanation.

For some strange reason, the Eagles wore white at Dallas on Thanksgiving 2014.

Campbell’s philosophy seems like it really only works if you are consistent. You need to play the long game. I don’t understand why he goes sometimes but not others. I guess he might not like the defensive look? But what is different? Still lots of time so unlikely that is the winning 3 points.

How did Hutchinson only have 6.5 sacks going into tonight?

He has been in the backfield on literally every play.

Amazing Dak’s standing, his leg could easily have had a million different bad things happen there.

I think you have to consider declining that penalty. If you don’t it costs you 40 seconds because the play took long enough to use up the 2 minute warning.

Sneaky big that offensive penalty lets Dallas run 1st down after the 2 minute warning.

I guess its such a massive yardage defense Det felt they had to take it but thats unfortunate for them. Will cost them 45 seconds

If the Lions had no timeouts, they’d need to decline that. But they have 2, so they gotta accept.

Yup.

Tough call given they got like 6-7 yards on that run and a 1st down ends the game. But massive that the clock go to the 2 minute warning there and they replay 1st down.

Down 4 with 2 timeouts and Dallas in FG range with a 6 yard gain you have to accept that

Tough choice.
