ARLINGTON, Texas – – Jared Goff threw for 315 yards and three touchdowns after his completion streak ended on his first throw, and the Detroit Lions blew out Dallas 47-9 on Sunday, handing the Cowboys a fourth straight lopsided loss at home.

David Montgomery had two rushing touchdowns for the Lions (4-1), who lost pass rusher Aidan Hutchinson in the third quarter to a serious injury to his lower left leg.

Dak Prescott threw two interceptions in the worst home loss since 1988 for the Cowboys (3-3), who became the first team since at least 2000 to trail by 14 or more points at halftime in four straight games on their home court. Dallas is 0-3 at home and 3-0 on the road.

Detroit led 27-6 at halftime, pushing the combined total of Dallas’ halftime deficit at AT&T Stadium to 110-35, dating back to a wild-card playoff loss to Green Bay in January.

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

Goff set an NFL single-game record by going 18 of 18 in the Lions’ win over Seattle before their bye week. Goff’s overall streak of 19 wins — six short of the league record — ended when he failed to connect with running back Jahmyr Gibbs on Detroit’s second offensive play.

On Detroit’s first game, coach Dan Campbell threw some shade at the officials who penalized a potential game-winning 2-point conversion pass in the Lions’ 20-19 loss to the Cowboys last December.

Dan Skipper reported that he was in line for a vanilla 5-yard run by Montgomery. He was the tackle officials said he considered when Taylor Decker caught Goff’s 2-point pass nine months ago.

The Lions were confident Decker had declared himself eligible, but that didn’t matter. The loss cost the Lions a shot at the top seed in the NFC, and they lost the conference championship game in San Francisco.

In the third quarter, Decker was ruled eligible again on first and goal from the 2 and Goff threw to him in the end zone, but the pass was incomplete.

Facing a Dallas defense missing its two pass rushers, including two-time All-Pro Micah Parsons, and a starting linebacker and cornerback, Goff finished 18 of 25 with a perfect passer rating of 153.8.

Sam LaPorta had a 52-yard touchdown catch on a trick play when he was wide open after Goff threw to Montgomery, who then threw on a reverse to Amon-Ra St. Brown, who gave the ball back to Goff for the deep throw.

Montgomery’s first score was a squirming, abrasive 16-year-old to put Detroit up 7-3 for good.

Hutchinson, who entered the game as the NFL sacks leader, was carted off after his leg appeared to break above the ankle when it collided with teammate Alim McNeill’s left leg as Hutchinson pulled Prescott down for one of the Detroit four -to fail.

There was a delay of about 10 minutes as medical personnel attended to Hutchinson while players from both teams made a large circle around the second overall pick in the 2022 draft. Hutchinson entered the game leading the NFL with 6 1/2 sacks.

Prescott was 17 of 33 without a touchdown for a passer rating of 42.2, the second-worst of his career.

Injuries

The Lions lost another defensive lineman in DT Kyle Peko, who injured a pectoral muscle in the first quarter and did not return.

Next

The Lions will visit Minnesota next Sunday. The Vikings (5-0) are coming off their bye. The Cowboys are off next weekend.
