Matthew Stafford’s gutsy sneak fools everyone in Lions’ stunning win vs. Cowboys

Yahoo! Sports

DETROIT – The first order of business was getting Reilly Reiff back to the line of scrimmage.

“Reilly is out there [at midfield],” Matthew Stafford said of his Detroit Lions left tackle, shaking his head at the memory. “And he’s celebrating.”

“He’s [expletive] halfway down the field,” running back Reggie Bush said with a laugh.

Reiff thought Calvin Johnson had just scored a game-winning touchdown against the Dallas Cowboys. Only he hadn’t. Megatron went for 329 receiving yards in this game, but the refs ruled him one short on the most critical of plays.

So now it was the Lions’ ball, first-and-goal at the 1. The problem was Dallas led by six and the clock was ticking down and Ford Field was a surreal mix of chaos and screams, no one really sure what was going down.
