Lions want Cowboys rematch in playoffs: Ebron says ‘plan on it’

December 30 07:56 2016

That helped them to win the game and improve to 13-2 on the season.

You might be thinking I am insane by saying that, especially after the performance the squad had on the Detroit Lions’ first three possessions of the game, all of which went for touchdowns. The receiver ran a backside post and I hit him in stride for 60 yards.

“We want to go out and win ballgames every week”, said Elliott, who has the third-highest rookie rushing total behind Dickerson and George Rogers (1,674 with New Orleans in 1981).

“I really like coming home and playing in Dallas”, Stafford said.

Zach Zenner had two rushing touchdowns in the first half, but in the second period, he lost his pace.

The biggest sign they were serious about this one came late in the third quarter, when Bryant took a reverse pitch from Dak Prescott and tucked the ball as if planning to run before pulling up and tossing a lefty lob to Jason Witten for an easy 10-yard score and a 35-21 lead.

It was Bryant’s first touchdown pass since high school.

Cowboys coach Jason Garrett said the team’s success despite their playoff clinch was because of his strategy of valuing each game equally. There are many more possibilities, but to avoid confusion, let’s just leave it there and wait and see what happens. Bryant can throw the ball farther than anyone on the team and I am not kidding when I say that.

Elliott is more cautious than his rookie roommate, saying there’s a “bigger purpose” than the National Football League rushing leader reaching Dickerson’s mark of 1,808 yards from 1983. “We’re focused on practicing and playing as well as we can in this game on Monday night against Detroit”.

There were lots of exciting plays to take away from this game.

Dallas went on to dominate Detroit to the tune of 42-21. The defense struggled in the first half, giving up 21 points to the visitors, but they pitched a shutout in the final half and cruised to victory.

“It was flawless”, Bryant said. He also drew a 31-yard pass interference penalty that set up another touchdown. “And we came out with a much better result than in the fist half”. At times, Dallas’ defense even looked apathetic, blowing gap assignments and not making tackles.

Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers scrambles against the Lions earlier this season.

Washington fans found themselves in a similar predicament in Week 15 with the Cowboys taking on the Buccaneers. Barring an injury to Prescott, Romo won’t have to answer questions about that episode in the Cowboys’ return to the top spot in the NFC. It’s the Cowboys, once America’s Team, who haven’t won or advanced to a Super Bowl since 1995, who are 2016’s darlings.
