The Dallas Cowboys showcased their prowess at home, sealing a narrow 20-19 victory against the Detroit Lions, who are no strangers to success themselves as the NFC North titleholders. With this win, the Cowboys maintained a pristine 8-0 home record for the 2023 regular season. This triumph also sees the Cowboys extending their remarkable winning streak at home to 16 consecutive games.

To put this into perspective, this streak is equivalent to an entire NFL regular season. While the match was neck-and-neck, the deciding factor boiled down to a single point. Micah Parsons emerged as the game’s hero, ensuring that this crucial point remained just out of the Lions’ grasp. Sadly, the otherwise perfect match took a controversial turn that shook the sports world. It even left boxing promoter Lou Di Bella furious.

Lou Di Bella appears furious at the referees’ call

In the heart-stopping match between the Lions and the Cowboys, a controversial call by referee Brad Allen became the game’s defining moment. Down by seven points and with just 1:41 on the clock, Lions’ quarterback Jared Goff led an impressive drive, culminating in a touchdown to Amon-Ra St. Brown.

Following that, Goff found left tackle Taylor Decker for a two-point conversion, propelling the Lions ahead by one point. However, jubilation quickly turned to confusion as Allen nullified the play, citing an “illegal touch” and claiming that Decker hadn’t reported as an eligible receiver.

However, replays painted a different picture. Decker, along with two other offensive linemen, approached Allen explicitly, seemingly confirming their eligibility. As the video surfaced on social media, a boxing promoter wrote a furious message directed at the referees. He wrote, “Inexcusable … just not acceptable. Disgraceful, @NFL.” The situation is certainly unfortunate and has caused a huge storm among the fans of the sport.
