Home horrors continue for Cowboys in NFL

Jared Goff's completion streak has ended on his first throw.

By then, Detroit had already started throwing shade about the hotly disputed two-point conversion from their loss at Dallas nine months earlier.

Goff went on to throw for 315 yards and three touchdowns, David Montgomery ran for two scores and the Lions thrashed the Cowboys 47-9 on Sunday for their fourth consecutive lopsided loss at home.

Still, it wasn't much of a celebration for the Lions (4-1), who lost pass rusher Aidan Hutchinson in the third quarter to a serious left tibia injury that was to require surgery before he could go home.

The injury happened when Hutchinson was sacking Dak Prescott and his leg appeared to snap above the ankle when it collided with the leg of teammate Alim McNeill.

"He's a guy who's part of the heartbeat of this team, he's a leader, does everything right," Goff said.

"And to have him go down like that, and be visibly upset is tough for all of us. But knowing him, he will be fine. He will bounce back."

Prescott threw two interceptions in the worst home loss since 1988 for Dallas (3-3), who became the first team since at least 2000 to trail by 14 or more more points at halftime in four consecutive games on their home field, playoffs included.

Detroit led 27-6 at the break, putting the combined total of the Cowboys' halftime deficit at AT&T Stadium at 110-35 going back to a wildcard playoff loss to Green Bay in January.

The current skid followed a 16-game home winning streak that was second-longest in franchise history, and the 167 points allowed by Dallas are the third most in a four-game home stretch in NFL history.

"I'm not a guy to hit the panic button," Prescott said.

"You never prepare for that or think that can happen the way it did today, here at home, again. Now dropping three at home, a place that we've been great."

Elsewhere, there were home wins for AFC division leaders Baltimore and Houston, along with Chicago, Green Bay and Philadelphia.

NFC South front-runners Atlanta won 38-20 at Carolina, while Tampa Bay, Indianapolis, Pittsburgh, the Los Angeles Chargers and Cincinnati were also victorious on their travels.
