"Gibbs ran for three touchdowns, including a 13-yarder with 2:19 left that sealed the Lions' much-needed 44-30 win over the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday night. The Lions sacked Dak Prescott five times a week after they had no sacks and lost to Green Bay and had two interceptions and recovered a fumble. You could see an uptick in urgency from everybody, Jared Goff said."
"They don't get panicked, Detroit coach Dan Campbell said. We played our best game that we played all year. Detroit's playoff probability is now 54% and Dallas' fell to 7%, according to the NFL. The Cowboys (6-6-1) had surged into postseason contention with a three-game winning streak. But against the Lions, the NFL's top-ranked offense had to lean on powerful kicker Brandon Aubrey too much and Dallas' revitalized defense was humbled."
"Goff went 25 of 34 for 309 yards with a 12-yard touchdown pass to rookie receiver Isaac TeSlaa that put Detroit ahead 27-9. Dallas pulled within three points twice in the fourth quarter, including with 3:42 left when Aubrey matched a career high with his fifth field goal. Tom Kennedy returned the ensuing kickoff to midfield and Goff threw a 37-yard pass to Amon-Ra St. Brown to set up Gibbs' third score."
