In a series of events leading up to the Cowboys 24-20 come from behind victory over the Detroit Lions what will be discussed most. The Pass Interference Gate that will take away from a well-played game by both or simply all that Laundry on the field period?

The 'Boys won but I though their hopes were doomed when it was 17-7 Lions and Cowboys PK Dan Bailey missed aright outside of what would have been s chip shot FG to make it 17-10. The Lions then cane right back making it 20-7 on their next drive getting a FG. To the 2014 Cowboys credit they overcame some turbulence (with Seat Belt Lights on) again answered the bell when needed.

All three Terrence Williams, Cole Beasley, and Jason Witten all made huge plays throughout the game. Cowboys RB DeMarco Murray scored a TD behind a modest 75 yard day on just 19 carries. Dez Bryant had just three grabs for 48 yards but they all were big catches. QB Romo was 19 for 31 for 293 yards and two TD's and nooooooooooo INT's...and he had a few mistake in the pocket but this is the new Romo as there were no Momentum killing plays.

The Lions had everything in their favor heading into the 4th coming out of the motel leading 20-14. Was that P.I. picked up and turned into a no-call huge ...you bet. Did it have to come down to just that call I think not.

QB Matthew Stafford in front of the home folks threw for 323 yards on 28 for 42 and a TD and an INT. WR Golden Tate was lethal all game long catching six Wilson pig skins for 89 yards including a brilliant 51-yard TD pass in the 1st frame. "Megatron" had five grabs for 85 yards as that run game was good enough from Joique Bell and Reggie Bush so what happened! The Lions just came up short as that "D" down the stretch was called for flag after flag!

The Cowboys now move onto Lambeau taking that 8-0 coming out of the motel in 2014 record with them. The Lions have huge questions in two of their biggest stars in Ndamukong Suh and Calvin Johnson as do they stay or go?
