The biggest play on Saturday night might end up being a rule the NFL is trying to get rid of.

The Dallas Cowboys returned to the friendly confines of AT&T Stadium on Saturday to face the fellow playoff-bound Detroit Lions.

CeeDee Lamb, who has already scored, was looking to get his second TD in the second quarter.

However, in the process of being tackled, he fumbled the ball and it fell out of the back of the end zone. It became a touchback and the Lions would get the ball.

Rule makes no sense you can fumble any where else on the field with no problem

I hate they they just wanna change EVERYTHING like it’s a fine rule how about just don’t fumble into the endzone

Another dumb rule that completely changes the rules at the goal line for no reason (see: “what is a catch” or “what is a fumble”).

I think the fumble out of the end zone rule is stupid and it’s totally not because I’ve had ceedee lamb and Justin Jefferson both fuck me with it this year

Hate the rule.

Absolutely despise it.

If you fumble the ball out of the back of the endzone you should not get the ball back! They shouldn’t change that rule. Defenses already handicapped. Don’t fumble. #Cowboys #Lions

My favorite part of a fumble through the end zone is the immediate outrage over the rule, while ignoring the player who fumbled. Like clockwork.

Troy Vincent, NFL Executive Vice President of Football Operations, hinted at the possibility of eliminating the rule that currently turns fumbles in the end zone into offensive turnovers.

The above play is only going to make the call for a change even louder.
