Dak Prescott, playing in his first game since suffering a broken
right thumb in the season opener, passed for 207 yards while
completing 19 of 25 attempts. He threw his first touchdown pass
of the season with less than two minutes remaining.
Elliott gained 57 yards on 15 carries, while Tony Pollard rushed
for 83 yards on 12 carries. CeeDee Lamb caught four passes for
70 yards for Dallas (5-2).
The Lions' Jared Goff passed for 228 yards but fumbled twice and
was picked off two times. Jamaal Williams gained 79 yards on 15
carries but committed a pivotal turnover.
The Lions (1-5) led 6-3 at halftime. Michael Badgley put Detroit
on the scoreboard with a 40-yard field goal with 3:58 left in
the first quarter.
Brett Maher's 22-yard field goal, which capped a 72-yard Dallas
drive, tied it up early in the second. Badgley's 53-yard field
goal put Detroit back on top.
Dallas had a good chance to at least tie the game late in the
half, but wide receiver Noah Brown fumbled and the Lions
recovered at their own 3-yard line.
Trevon Diggs intercepted Goff to end Detroit's first possession
of the second half. The Cowboys then embarked on a seven-play,
82-yard drive, which included a 28-yard run by Pollard. Elliott
capped it off with a 1-yard run.
Detroit saw a 79-yard drive flame out early in the fourth
quarter. After his team reached the Dallas 1, Williams fumbled
on a hit by Demarcus Lawrence and linebacker Anthony Barr
recovered.
Goff was intercepted by cornerback Jourdan Lewis with 8:29 left,
leading to Dallas' clinching touchdown. Prescott hit Brown with
two passes on the 54-yard drive, which was capped by Elliott's
second touchdown of the game.
Dallas regained possession two plays after the next kickoff when
Goff fumbled on a strip sack by Sam Williams. Prescott found
Peyton Hendershot from 2 yards out to complete the scoring.
