Mathew Stafford Fakes Out the Dallas Defense for the Winning Touchdown!

There are tons of plays that fans could be and should be talking about from the Detroit Lions/Dallas Cowboys game. There is Calvin Johnson setting a personal best in receiving yards in epic fashion. There is the Dallas defense forcing four turnovers (love that Sean Lee guy!). There is Dez Bryant throwing his little tantrum on the sideline--and so much more.

But the only play that anyone is going to care about is this one right here.

From Bleacher Report

The Lions had about a minute to go and were down by 6. They had little trouble moving the ball on Dallas; they just couldn't hold onto the ball. With a few big catches--including another one that saw Megatron stopped at the one--the Lions got in position with just seconds left on the clock.

It made sense for the Lions to want to clock the ball so when the Dallas defense say Mathew Stafford going through the motions they assumed he was going to. Instead Stafford made enough of a jump over his surging offensive line to get the nose of the ball over the goal line.

And at that moment Dallas Cowboys fans everywhere felt a little sick to their stomachs.

Detroit fans, on the other hand, were reminded of one thing--there quarterback is money (and he knows it; clip NSFW)!
