The Detroit Lions are back in Texas on Sunday, October 13, for a heated matchup against the Dallas Cowboys on the road.
Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott and the team had a rough 1-2 start to the season, but the past few weeks, they’ve fought to snag two consecutive wins over the New York Giants and the Pittsburgh Steelers. Meanwhile, the Lions are 3-1 going into the game, only having lost to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
This particular matchup between the Lions and Cowboys is extra dramatic, because the last time the team played, there was a controversial end to the game. The controversy was about whether or not Lions left tackle Taylor Decker properly reported to the official as eligible to receive a pass on the two-point conversion try with 23 seconds left on the clock. Decker caught the pass in the end zone, but officials called it as illegal touching on the play, so no points.
Prescott remembers that moment, and he says that he’s ready to go up against that Lions “personality” on Sunday.
