Lions visit Cowboys in return to scene of disputed 2-point call in 1-point loss

Associated Press  

ARLINGTON, Texas — Dan Campbell can always count the way he enjoys the closest thing he has to a homecoming when he visits the Dallas Cowboys. “You’ve got to keep your head about you no matter what it is, and I think each game, you can always find something,” said Campbell, who was born and raised less than 100 miles from Dallas and played three of his 10 NFL seasons with the Cowboys. “I don’t want to dwell on something that was eight months ago or whatever,” said Goff, who has lost to the Cowboys at AT&T Stadium in each of the past two seasons. “There’s been a lot of football since last year,” said McCarthy, whose team blew its good fortune by losing a home wild-card playoff game to Green Bay two weeks later. Rico Dowdle had his best game with the Cowboys against the Steelers as Dallas finally gave quarterback Dak Prescott some help in last week’s 20-17 victory over Pittsburgh.
