It wasn't pretty, but the Dallas Cowboys showed the resiliency of true champions as they beat the Detroit Lions 24-20 to advance to the divisional round of the playoffs.
The Lions defense did a great job of pressuring Tony Romo, and it showed, as it threw off Romo's mechanics for a majority of the game.
When the Cowboys needed yards they relied on two of their most reliable players in Jason Witten and Cole Beasley to get crucial first downs.
The Cowboys defense played the best game of the year against the Lions. It started slow but really came on after the first quarter was over.
The Cowboys special teams were great throughout as well, except for the one missed field goal.
The Cowboys look forward to their next playoff opponent, the Green Bay Packers, in a game where the Dallas offense needs to play much better.
