The Cowboys got the benefit of a questionable pass interference call on Nevin Lawson covering Dez Bryant and turned it into a one-yard touchdown run from Ezekiel Elliott that puts Dallas on top, 28-21, with 10:19 remaining in the third quarter.
Matthew Stafford's mistake put the Cowboys in great field position, but the referees didn't do the Lions defense any favors on that drive.

The Lions picked up a quick first down to start the second half, but a holding penalty and a sack put them behind the chains.
