Back from break. Lions coach yelling at the special teams coach....is...is the special teams coach for Detroit asian? I am going to play it safe and stay away from that one. Witten completion. Barber gets so mad at the ground he throws the ball at it in anger. Cowboys recover. Barber again, but this time he keeps the ball. And again. 3rd and short. Jason Garrett loves to get cute on 3rd and short..let's take a look. Toss to Barber and it goes al the way for a touchdown. Lions were packed in to try and stop the drive. There was nothing there after the 1st level. 10-7 Detroit still ahead.

Commercial break. Haha. Eli Manning commercial. Eli Manning is a lot of things, but unstoppable does not belong on that list. Robot football player, and we are back.

Cowboys have the most 20+ yard plays in the NFL this year. Hmmm.

Kickoff and back to commercial. GRRRRR. That voice activated car mp3 player commercial. I like to play along with this commercial and shout out bands of my own choosing. Play artist Salt N' Pepa. I once got in trouble in Elementary school because I wouldn't stop saying that to a girl. Salt N' Pepa! True story.

Back to the game. Lions moving it through the air. I can actually hear two Cowboys yelling switch in the secondary before the snap, never a good thing. Roy Williams actually does a good job in coverage, Lions want a flag. Lions held to a field goal. 13-7 Lions

Commercial Break. I think it is so sad that Beyonce has a song just for a cable commercial. I wouldn't kick her out of bed for singing it though.

Come back to a video montage to what has already happened set to that Timberland song that I have heard a million times. The lyric "I ain't got no money" seems funny over shots of professional football players. I think those guys might make a decent amount of money. Kickoff. Cowboys ball, and back to commercial! GRRRRR!

Commercial for The Terminator series. I am kind of excited for that.

Back to the game. Witten gets a 5 yard completion. Jones runs it to within 2 of the first down. 3rd and 2. Something tricky from Garrett? Romo rolls out and throws incomplete to Crayton. Punt. Touchback. Joe Buck is going on a rant about punters not kicking it out of bounds.

Lions ball. Complete to Calvin Johnson. 19 yards. Nice timing route. Kevin Jones grabs 16 yards. Hey somebody go check the Locker room for the Dallas D. McDonnell gets a 9 yard completion. Duckett gets the 1st and the Lions are rolling downhill. More running and completions. The Lions haven't gotten to 3rd down yet on this drive. Duckett runs it to the goal line. 2 minute warning.

Commercial. The new iPod or is it the iPhone? Not sure. let me know when it comes with a laser pointer. Play artist Yanni! That never gets old for me.

Back to see Romo and Owens looking on. Despondent. Reality TV at the finest. Jones tries to spin on the goal line. Stuffed. Never spin at the goal line. Drive those legs, lean forward, and get the score. Dallas timeout. Lob to Johnson into a double team. Almost caught and almost picked. Bad decision by Kitna. 3rd down. Jones powers in. That is how to do it. Legs never stopped moving. 20-7 Lions. Lions have scored on every possession so far. Ouch.

Lions are pooch kicking, because they can't cover kickoffs I guess. Short completion to Barber. Out of bounds. 1:29 to go. Witten gets a 1st over the middle. Send Witten deep if they keep doubling Owens. 9 yards to Witten. Clock stopped. 1:01 to go. Romo runs for the 1st and slides down at the 30. Injury timeout Detroit, for Cory Redding. :47 to go. Dallas still has 2 timeouts. Witten gets 12 and another 1st. Timeout Dallas. :41 to go. Barber gets a drop off and gets the 1st and stops the clock. Barber spikes the ball...phew...no flag. :33 to go. Booth review. He may have gotten a little extra yardage. Cowboys should try for Crayton in the middle of the end zone after this. Play stands. Here we go. Jailbreak in on Romo...he lobs it to the left flat...Barber catches it for the touchdown. Great throw. 17 straight starts with a TD pass for Romo is a new Cowboys record. Breaking Troy's old mark. 20-14 Lions

Kickoff to Lions. :23 to go. Cason gets a few off a completion. I really wish his first name was Jason. Jason Cason. Kitna throws incomplete. :12 to go. False start. next snap and the Lions want a pass interference. No flag. Punt. Half over.

Dallas needs to figure some stuff out on D. They aren't stopping the run or the pass. Keep powering the ball with Barber and take all the easy stuff they are giving to Witten. Don't force it to Owens. Detroit needs to maintain the balance on Offense and step up the aggression on D.
