Game of the Year – Dallas Cowboys at Detroit Lions (31-30 win)

Was there really any question? The only consensus first place winner in any category, this game has been called by many a turning point in not only the season, but the career of Lions signal-caller Matthew Stafford. While this remains to be seen, heading into the bye week at 5-3 rather than 4-4 has provided an emotional high for Detroit to build on in the second half of the season.

Honorable Mentions – Wins at home against Chicago and at Washington were mentioned, but are they even in the same realm as the win over Dallas? No way.
