Lions charge 99 yards, lead Cowboys 14-0

ARLINGTON, Tex. - Reggie Bush scampered for an 18 yard touchdown to give the Detroit Lions into a 14-0 lead over the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday.

The score capped off a 99 yard drive that was resurrected on a crucial Cowboys penalty in the end zone.

Receiver Golden Tate threw a block on J.J. Wilcox as Bush rushed middle, then cut left down the sideline and over the pylon for the two score advantage for Detroit, who seeks their first playoff victory since 1991.

The scoring drive was the first of that length in the postseason in 12 years.

After being pinned inside the 1 by Cowboys punter Chris Jones, Detroit failed to convert, though would be bailed out when their punter, Sam Martin, was run into in the end zone, converting the 4th-and-5.

Stafford rushed himself for 9 yards and a first down after shuffling past a would-be tackle and Reggie Bush followed with a 9 yard gash of his own. Joique Bell found a hole through the middle to convert the 2nd-and-1, and again on a fake end-around toss for 18 yards through traffic to the Cowboys 31.

Matthew Stafford put Detroit on the board after their first possession, a 51 yard touchdown strike to Golden Tate on a 4 play charge over 62 yards, all passes. Stafford is XXXX

Tony Romo fumbled on a sack on the Cowboys' third possession, but Dallas would recover and Jason Witten would convert a 3rd-and-12 toss.

Detroit outgained Dallas 155-34 in total yardage and 65-8 rushing.
