Cowboys deny Lions on 2-point try for 20-19 win to extend home win streak to 16

Associated Press  

ARLINGTON, Texas — CeeDee Lamb could only watch from the sideline in the final seconds of the best game of his career, hoping it would be enough for a 16th consecutive home victory for the Dallas Cowboys. The first of Dak Prescott’s two touchdown passes was a 92-yarder to Lamb, and Dallas stopped the third 2-point try from the Lions after they were penalized when they converted the first with 23 seconds remaining in the Cowboys’ 20-19 victory Saturday night. “But definitely I know my defense had us, and they held it down.” Lamb’s touchdown was the second-longest pass in club history — behind the 95-yard connection in 1966 between two more ring of honor members in Don Meredith and Pro Football Hall of Fame receiver Bob Hayes. “I told them that, and so that’s what we’re doing.” The playoff-bound Cowboys have a shot at the NFC East title, but need division-leading Philadelphia to lose at least once in the final two weeks. Lamb broke two of receiver Michael Irvin’s single-season club records from 1995 while also setting career highs with 13 catches in his first 200-yard game.
