I mean, it was a sh¡tty way to win the game I can't lie, so it is understandable from the rest of the leagues perspective. Oh well.
No its not. For the millionth time, they committed multiple penalties on that play AND it wouldn't have even happened if not for an egregious tripping call against us.

Let them all cry, as long as they do it in AT&T.

You can’t do it.

Even if the lions get it. Cowboys had 23 seconds, 2 timeouts and a kicker with a booming leg who hasn’t missed a FG yet.

The game wasn’t over even if the lions did get the 2 points.
It's in the article, he can reschedule and restart the game or continue the game from the point of the questionable outcome.

If a commissioner-led investigation into official Brad Allen’s call reveals it was “extraordinarily unfair or outside the accepted tactics” and has “a major effect on the result of the game,” Roger Goodell can take action that includes “the reversal of a game’s result or the rescheduling of a game, either from the beginning or from the point at which the extraordinary act occurred.”

Can you imagine how this would immobile the Cowboys if he did? Might be a good thing.

But it won't. How is Las Vegas supposed to straighten out the money after the fact?
