On the surface, the Dallas Cowboys won 20-19 on Saturday because referee Brad Allen acted too swiftly and the Detroit Lions played too cunningly during the contested two-point conversion attempt that Allen’s crew disallowed.
Allen ought to have taken some time to gather his thoughts when he noticed three Lions players advancing on him prior to the two-point attempt. The fact that left tackle Taylor Decker was qualified to grab the pass Allen caught for the potential convert may have also been verified by Lions players with Allen.
