Dan Campbell reveals official explanation on finish that doomed Lions vs. Cowboys
The Dallas Cowboys posed a serious threat to the Detroit Lions. It was not Dak Prescott and Jared Goff coming to play games. Until the game became close, he was giving it everything he had to keep his team in the game.
In close situations, this is where contentious calls and plays usually occur. Dan Campbell would just so happen to be going through one at that same moment.
He explained the logic behind it.
Apparently, Dan Campbell was told that Taylor Decker was not eligible on the attempt that got them a two-point conversion.
It was then handed a penalty and nullified as a consequence because two players cannot report as eligible, per The Athletic.
This play could have turned the script around and given the Lions the win. Jared Goff was already popping off in the clutch with the help of Amon-Ra St. Brown. It was down to that final play involving Decker where the squad got closest to stealing the win. However, the offensive lineman did not report as an eligible receiver before the play.
He was also handed out a flag for illegal touching.
It was simply not the Lions’ day, but this game might have gone either way.
CeeDee Lamb, who smashed Michael Irvin’s records in front of Jimmy Johnson, gave Dak Prescott a big helping hand.The Cowboys are now in a groove, which increases their chances of making a deep playoff run in January.
Can Campbell and the Lions recover from this difficult decision?
