ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — CeeDee Lamb had a 92-yard touchdown catch, and Dallas denied the Detroit Lions in a crazy sequence of 2-point conversion attempts in the final seconds of the Cowboys’ 20-19 victory.

The win extended Dallas’ home winning streak to 16 games. It’s the longest run since 1979-81.

Jared Goff pulled the NFC North champion Lions within a point with a touchdown pass to Amon-Ra St. Brown with 23 seconds remaining. The first 2-point try was a successful pass to offensive lineman Taylor Decker, but the officials ruled him to be an ineligible receiver. Dallas stopped the second attempt but was offsides before Goff threw incomplete on the final try.
