TL;DR Summary

The Dallas Cowboys narrowly defeated the Detroit Lions 20-19 after a controversial game-ending sequence. The Lions' Taylor Decker caught what would have been a go-ahead two-point conversion, but it was nullified due to an illegal touching penalty because he did not report as an eligible receiver. The Lions failed in two subsequent attempts to convert, and the Cowboys' CeeDee Lamb sealed the victory by recovering an onside kick. Lamb also set a franchise record for the most receiving yards in a single season during the game. The Cowboys' win was witnessed by former coach Jimmy Johnson, who was inducted into the team's Ring of Honor at halftime.
