The Dallas Cowboys are back in their Wild Card playoff with the Detroit Lions after DeMarco Murray hit pay dirt on a fourth-and-goal run.

The Dallas Cowboys had fallen into a 13-point hole in the third quarter against the Detroit Lions in their NFC Wild Card playoff at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, and had failed to get points after intercepting Detroit’s Matthew Stafford deep in Lions’ territory.

Detroit made the Cowboys pay by getting a field goal on their next possession.

Dallas dug down, however, flipping the field when Dez Bryant took a short pass and turned it into a 43-yard gain to the Detroit 7.

After a touchdown by DeMarco Murray was called back for a holding call against tight end Jason Witten, Tony Romo got the ball deep again with a 15-yard pass to Cole Beasley.

On second-and-goal from the Lions’ 2, the Cowboys tried to get cute with an inside shovel pass to Witten, who gained just a yard.

Murray was stopped for no gain on third-and-goal, but on fourth down, Murray found a seam over left tackle and burst into the end zone to make it a game again at 20-14.

Through three quarters, Murray has 68 yards on 15 carries, but Dallas has surrendered four sacks to the Lions, who led 14-0 after the first quarter and 17-7 at the half.
