The Detroit Lions are returning to AT&T Stadium this weekend to seek revenge for a controversial loss to the Cowboys last season.

In that game, officials incorrectly overturned a two-point conversion, claiming the Lions failed to properly report an eligible offensive lineman. Jared Goff’s pass to Taylor Decker was penalized for illegal touching after officials decided it was Dan Skipper who reported as eligible.

Replays showed the Lions followed all protocols, with no clear evidence of any rule violations.

When Dan Campbell was asked if he still felt the “controlled fury” he expressed after that tough loss, he replied, “Well, that never really leaves. But yeah, I’m excited for this one.

And really, look, it’s the next one in front of us. It’s a conference opponent, and they’ve had our number for a while. I grew up down there, so I have a lot of people there. I think it’ll be a special game.”

The Cowboys recently defeated the Steelers in a tough game, led by Dak Prescott’s late drive.

“National television, 4 o’clock, that’s awesome, an early nationally televised game. But look, they played pretty well last night,” Campbell said. “They did what they needed to win. It was a tough environment, and Pittsburgh’s offense made it challenging. They found a way to win, so we know we’ve got our hands full.”

Having grown up in Texas, Campbell witnessed Pro Football Hall of Famers like Troy Aikman, Emmitt Smith, and Michael Irvin in his youth.

“Look, it’s no secret, growing up in Texas — you listen to (Cowboys broadcaster) Brad Sham on the radio in the middle of nowhere,” he said. “It was always special in that regard. The triplets (Aikman, Smith, and Irvin) defined my teenage years. Growing up in high school and early college, those guys were everything.”

He added, “It’s always had a special aura, but once you start playing and coaching against them, that feeling fades quickly. Now it’s about finding a way to win, and you’re on the other side of it all. So, I think that feeling came and went, I guess.”
