1. The diggs interception. Thankfully they didn’t overturn. To be honest didn’t look like an interception to me.

2. The goal line fumble by Detroit. Plus the great stop by parsons on the hustle play to stop them at the 1.


If either of those plays have different results and I think we lose the game.

horrible game but we still found a way to win.
Not really
The brown fumble was just as important for them
Stopping them from scoring TD and settling for FG was just as important

You forgot to add one Brown's fumble on the 5.

You have to include the play prior to the goal line fumble. Detroit scored a touchdown, but the refs blew the call, and Detroit didn't challenge it.
The refs helped the Cowboys a great deal, and it certainly made a difference. Kinda suspicious, to be honest.
And yes; I think the Cowboys would have lost, otherwise.
Umm, wrong. The knee was clearly down short of the goalline. Romo and Nantz were going on and on about how they should have challenged. Then they put up a clear shot showing he was down short of the goal line. Then Romo and Nantz shifted to talking about how they still should have challenged, even though he was clearly short.

Yeah they then said it should have been on the half yard area instead of on the one. Which would not have prevented that fumble. But their excuse was that maybe Detroit sneaks it at the half yard line.

They wanted to challenge the spot...not the td.

I loved the game. Don’t forget the brown fumble. He doesn’t fumble and blowout starts there.

What's suspicious is your agenda here. I know what it is too. You ain't fooling me. :)

His knee was clearly down before he crossed the plane. Even my man Ray Charles could've seen that on the reply.

I missed that replay, apparently.
I was watching a streaming site and it was probably shown during one of the times it froze.
But the actual play looked like a touchdown. If it wasn't, it wasn't. But there is no doubt that the fumble on the next play broke the Lions backs.

Who caused that fumble? Did a Dallas defender knock it out or did he just drop it?

You are so much, not a Cowboys fan.

How about Noah Browns fumble at the 3 yard line?

He did include the play prior to the fumble, and it wasn't a TD. The 1 yard line was probably a bad spot, but even putting it at the 1 foot line doesn't mean the next play goes any differently...Oh, and we won by 18 points.
