He said he replayed the game three times Friday in the wake of the Cowboys’ 44-30 loss to the Detroit Lions.

The Lions, however, lost a key player in Thursday’s victory. This was after Pro Bowl defensive back Brian Branch was forced to exit the game in the third quarter due to an ankle injury. The 24-year-old was unable to return and appears to now be dealing with a concerning issue.

Week 14 gave the Cowboys a chance to prove they were playoff worthy, but they wilted in every big moment in the loss to the Lions.
