00:00 The Dallas Cowboys were able to hold on for a 20-19 win over the Detroit Lions Saturday

00:04 night, but it did not come without controversy, with the refs making a highly questionable

00:09 call in the final seconds that likely took a win away from the Lions.

00:12 The Detroit sport have touched down with 23 seconds left in the game, then decided to

00:15 go for a two-point conversion to take the lead, which the Lions seemed to then pull

00:19 off on a Jared Goff pass to offensive lineman Taylor Decker.

00:22 The refs, however, ruled that Decker didn't report as eligible before the play and took

00:26 the points off the board.

00:27 No shows otherwise, as Decker is seen walking to the refs and likely letting them know he's

00:31 in fact eligible.

00:32 It's a heartbreaking loss for Detroit, and perhaps a lucky win for Dallas.
