I'm honestly surprised that this story isn't bigger today. Seems like all the talk is about how Dallas got robbed by a bad call or a bad rule. WTF?!
Hello?! Did everyone forget that they had NO business even being in that game yesterday in the first place?
This is the greatest example of sports karma actually working out that I've seen in ages!
Quick refresher: Lions' Pettigrew got RUN OVER by a beaten LB, flag was thrown, penalty was announced. Detroit is about to use up more time, score again, and Dallas is then essentially fukked. Flag is then picked up.
Come on, folks, how can anyone be crying for Dallas now???
They got what was theirs. The football gods gave and then they took away. And anyway, I never had any doubt that the Dez play was NOT a catch, right from the get-go, unlike the bizarre picked-up PI flag. Maybe the rule isn't the best, but it was 100% clear that when he goes down the ball bounces out of his hand. End of story.
Best result ever of a team getting a complete gift of a playoff win. I must say I've never seen it actually come back to bite a team until now. So, finally!
