The Detroit Lions have a gripe for a few missed calls in their 42-21 loss to the Dallas Cowboys, just as they did following a playoff loss in this same building two years ago. But that was ancient history, just as Monday’s loss should be by the time the Lions land back in Detroit.
They have a second chance this time around. They have to get ready for the massive showdown at Ford Field with the Green Bay Packers next Sunday night.
The loss means the Lions are not yet in the playoffs, and a loss to the Packers could knock them out entirely.
