          ARLINGTON, Texas -- The Detroit Lions pulled out their bag of tricks against the Dallas Cowboys at AT&T Stadium on Sunday.

          At 11:39 in the second quarter, Jared Goff tossed the ball to RB David Montgomery, who tossed it to WR Amon-Ra St. Brown, who delivered it back to Goff, who spotted a wide-open Sam LaPorta for a 52-yard touchdown off a reverse flea-flicker.

          It was LaPorta's first touchdown of the season as the Lions took a 17-3 lead.
