A lot contributed to the loss — turnovers, kickoff coverage and Dallas' defense allowed scores on six of the Lions' final seven possessions.

NFL fans aren't very happy with Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown at the moment. A week ago, St. Brown suffered an ankle injury against the Green Bay Packers. Most fans assumed that would sideline him for "Thursday Night Football" against the Dallas Cowboys.

If not for kicker Brandon Aubrey, the Dallas Cowboys' 44-30 loss to the Detroit Lions at Ford Field on Thursday night would have looked even uglier than it was. Aubrey finished the game 5 of 5 on field goals and made his only extra point attempt.
