Quite the night for the Dallas Cowboys and, in particular Dez Bryant.
This Cowboys team, which equalled a franchise-best 13 wins on Monday night with a 42-21 victory over the Detroit Lions, has been led by a pair of rookies who have taken the league by storm, behind one of the best offensive lines in NFL history.
It's not usual for a superstar wide receiver to pale in comparison, but Bryant has been part of team which hasn't relied on him as much this season and instead focused more on running back Ezekiel Elliott.
However, week 16 was Bryant's time to shine, and the veteran took every opportunity he was given. From just four catches, he gained 70 yards and two touchdowns.
The first touchdown was one for Bryant's showreel, a 25-yard pass from Dak Prescott wide left into the end zone. Under heavy pressure from cornerback Johnson Bademosi, who would have been penalised for pass interference, Bryant reeled in the ball with one hand, before securing it as he hit the ground.
Bryant went on to score the last touchdown of the day, and is now just five away from breaking the franchise's all-time record for TD receptions. Bob Hayes' total of 72 has stood since 1974, but it might not be long before number 88 climbs to the top of the list.
