Detroit Lions fall short in a wild finish against the Dallas Cowboys | 2023 Week 17 Game Highlights 

We all know what happened. We all know who won.

They won that game. This ranks up there with Galarraga's "perfect" game.

12-4 in my book

Keep your head up Decker keep your head up Goff, Keep your head up COACH!!! Hell of a game boys. They better be ready for us in the playoffs! Dumb ass ref Detroit vs EVERYBODY! #ONEPRIDE

DETROIT LIONS, My America's football team.

22:40 … I’m proud of how the Lions won this game

A clean victory for the Detroit Lions! Cowboys don't have the respect to admit it. The whole world has seen it, the whole world knows it!

We were outstanding and absolutely did not fall "short" we won that game!!

The Lions didn't fall short, the refs did. "They were who we thought they were!"

Nobody thought our Lions could keep up with Dallas at home. Not only did they keep up, THEY WON! Go 🦁

We won that game. #DetroitvsEvereyone

Fire Brad Allen. Maybe investigate him too.

I can’t believe I’m still awake and still searching video after video and fuming more and more by the second. I don’t care what anyone says I’m glad they continued to go for it instead of taking the extra point. They put the game in their hands after that disgusting flag that cost them the game. No reason to allow a stupid coin toss in overtime to determine anything or cost us more injuries especially after Jamo earlier on

The Lions media team should have ended this video with Decker's two-point conversion just to drive home the point of how much the team got jobbed by the refs. FBA.

The Lions proved that they are on the level of the NFC's elite. Not only that, because they lost like that, they will now be absolutely furious going into the playoffs. And that's the right mindset to have.

Shiela. Please, please talk to Roger about overturning this.

Still proud of how they played, defense is getting healthy right before playoffs and playing well. They could go on a run in January.

Fall short of what? Stopping the refs?

18:20 that was probably the best throw I seen Goff make to Jamo

Decker literally walked up to the official to report. We won this game. It doesn’t really affect us that much and I’m proud of our Lions but just another BS call in Dallas. How ironic. Even Aikman post game said.. “The evidence is there that Decker reported.”

Detroit definitely won that game. The NFL has the worst referees in all of sports.

We should call this the "Brad Allen game" or the "DECKER was Eligible game"😂 Because us LIONS fans will be talking about this game for years to come and we will always bring up this screw job by the NFL on the Lions once again

A bond was formed between these players, coaches, staff, ownership, security guards, concessions workers, fans old and new, etc last night. Now everyone is on the same page and knows the hard road ahead. Dan is the man for the job. He will lead us where we all want to go. This will only serve as fuel to our now raging fire. DETROIT VS EVERYBODY! ONE PRIDE! 🦁

AG had the defense humming against the boys! Special teams looked great too! A lot positives here I remain optimistic. Lfgl

Refs fall short*

Congratulations to the Detroit Lions on winning the game and beating Dallas. Unfortunately, the NFL, Referees and Dallas Cowboys have decided you can't accept that win. #FThe NFL

This game is a win. All analysts across the league are saying it too.

SMH, we won that game and got robbed on live tv. Still proud of the my team and the performance, we did an incredible job. #OnePride

REFS FALL SHORT*

Can't wait to welcome our 12-4 Detroit Lions back to Ford Field. And Welcome Brad Allen to the unemployment line.

lions won that game idgaf

I love this team 💪🦁

this loss hurts worse than every one i think ive ever seen. we can blame the refs all we want but our offense looked flat. o line was kinda crap at the beginning of the game and it cost us the win

We didn't "fall short" we were robbed on live television

The Cowboys didn’t win this freakin game.The refs gave it to them.Just terrible officiating and a terrible ending to a very frustrating game to witness.

How is no one talking about the clear touchdown by Gibbs around the 11:30 mark when he got tackled on top of the defender into the end zone lol

If any game needs an asterisk next to it... this is it. Go Lions!

Absolutely disgraceful the way Brad Allen is lying about what happened when there’s video proving otherwise.

I think Brad Allen’s incompetence will release a fire on this team that will fuel them to places this organization hasn’t seen in generations. That flag was the best thing for this team right before the playoffs when other teams that are in the dance not prepared for. It’s another chip we can stack on our shoulder. #DetroitvsEverybody

W Uploading the highlights

Sucks we got cheated again but can we appreciate JRM throw!?? Man HEEEEVED a beautiful spiral 😂

They didn't falp short, they got screwed... BIG DIFFERENCE! GO LIONS!!!

does it surprise you that exactly what I wrote earlier in the previous post happened: Lions vs. Cowboys Game Trailer | 2023 Week 17. how did I know in advance? for exactly one reason - my analytics are better than any statistics, I see more! I hope you've grown up now!

Rigged

We hot screwed on live television

Detroit vs. Everybody Take that into the playoffs and run the table

I was crying after this

It's a shame that the Lions executed a trick play (2 point conversion) to perfection only to have an NFL official screw it up because he was tricked too!!! Onto the playoffs and the SB!!! Lifelong Lions fan here.

As a cowboys fan, I’m sorry that referees gave you a bad call penalty. 😢

No one had acknowledged how LATE the flag came in!

23:06 even he knew decker checked in

12-4 lets gooo!

What is an illegal touch? “Mommy! He looked at me!”

Talk about your “Asterisk win”.

It's always something with these Dallas games, but they'll get their comeuppance in the playoffs.

Please post Dan's calls of the game this week.

I love watching America's Team win! Too bad the Cowboys lost. Better luck next time Dallas.

Don’t edit out the bad plays. We don’t need to be spoon fed. Give an accurate accounting of the highlights (or the lowlights ) of what made the game compelling.

New video released by the NFL on reporting after the game shows how Skipper was registered as reporting and Decker wasn't. All game, Skipper had been the only one reporting, and every time he came in to report, he ran off the sidelines toward the official with his left arm raised and right arm tapping his chest(as that is a universal symbol for reporting), and every time the ref recognized it as him reporting, because he was. On the 2pt play, he did the EXACT SAME THING(as another video angle shows), and the ref DID turn and see him running in before Decker ever got close to the ref. Skipper was recognized as eligible before Decker ever got to him because that was how Skipper had been reporting ALL game.

Jerry Goodell

No the Lions didn't fall short, the NFL fell short again in integrity.

Can we all agree that the Lions are 12-4 now?

If the 2014 wildcard game in Dallas wasn't a revelation for you that the league is biased against certain teams I don't know what it will take to convince you. If you didn't think they would find a way to swing this against Detroit you haven't been paying attention. #detroitvseverybody

If you wanna have some fun, pay attention to only Penei vs. Parsons. Penei cooked him all game, save for one rep

Another game that the refs screwed the Lions over. Fire Brad Allen.

0:02 Monday Night Football? Look like the ref crew created this introduction.

Americas team got jobbed by the stripes team.

I❤Refball

The lions won this game and you can't change my mind about it!!!

Notice how when they showed Jones that Jimmy was no where to be seen? He got his ring of honor and he gone.🤣

We know the refs are rigging the game under the nfl. Well at least they won on their bets.

If that loss turns out to be crucial for the lions with the playoffs coming all of Detroit have only the NFL to bl

Any fans in Dallas, follow that ref home and pay him a friendly visit

Not all has been lost.

LOL, is the franchise afraid of saying the truth? The truth that, due to incompetence of a ref, it cost them the game? They won that game, but one guy didnt do his job. They didnt fall short, the ref did. Not sure why u would go out of your way to anger your fan base by putting a title like that.

Sooo what happnened in this replay to the 3&13 Touchdown to Ceedee where the lions guy just doesnt sack dak?

It hurts to watch this

Final nail in the coffin. I'm done with the FFL (Fake Football League)

They did win but at the same time they lost

Yep. That clip that was called wasn't the right call. Game would've been over. Bring Detroit back.....

If #68 indeed did not report to the officials prior to entering the game as a receiver, then yes, the Lions did deserve the penalty. I agree, though, that Detroit overall outplayed the Cowboys.

Lions didn't fail short the officials did

We won idk what your talking about about lions are 12-4 baby

They should have a rematch

Refs had bets on the game and had to make sure cowboys won

The nfl made a huge mistake pissing these guys off. Who in the hell would want to play us in the playoffs now, sure in the hell better now be cowboys but hopefully it is.

Fords should sue the NFL for the amount of money lost due to being robbed of a second home game in the playoffs!

Wasn't that Sam's 81 catch on the year

Honestly…I know we got robbed. But it might be good for our team be pissed off come playoff time

Hope we had Sewell, decker, or skipper mic’d up.

Lions did not fall short the refs did. Sue them

I’m sick of these cowgirls

Falls Short? Whaaaaad?

The ref is refusing to look at the player trying to tell him he's eligible. The NFL has been fixed for decades. Green Bay and Dallas, and Jerry Jones are all historically able to change the outcome of a game whenever they lose. So to Refs the backsides of Jerry Jones, Green Bay, and Dallas must all taste like cheese to them. And you know gambleng wise nearly everyone's money was on Dallas. So is the NFL in with the Mob or just organized gambling? I posted this outcome twice 6 hours BEFORE the game on facebook, with two very long videos of dozens of historical call retractions against the Detroit Lions.

Thanks to the refs. But goff had 2 chances for 2 pts. He had a wide open receiver on the second 2pt and another wide open player on the third. He lost us that game too.

*

If Dan Campbell would have kicked that field goal when down on the 5 yd line after the fake punt all the ref crap wouldn't have mattered. Coaching contributed more to the loss than the refs did. You would think that maybe the game was trying to tell you something at the end when going for 2pt conversion for the second time that maybe we should just kick and go to OT which would also be going for the win. smh they will never learn.

I left when I seen this say Lions fell short no they didn’t they won that game and no one can tell me different

Clearly decker reported
