    The holding call did it

    Lions would have only had around 25 seconds with the ball if not for the holding.

    Absolutely inexcusable. Dallas has the dumbest coaching staff in the league.

    Romo should have just kept the ball.

    Exactly. Amazing how Dallas finds new ways to lose. Just run the ball into the line and punt. You could even make a case for going for it on 4th and 4. You were leaving Detroit with plenty of time to score a TD against a defense that was clearly gassed.

    I'm still confused though. Since the penalty was declined shouldnt the clock have run?

    No, penalty stops clock there regardless of whether it's accepted.

    Is it because it was the last 2 minutes or what?
