DETROIT - The Cowboys have clinched their first division title since 1998, but not without a large dose of drama.
Quarterback Tony Romo's 16-yard touchdown pass to Jason Witten with 18 seconds left capped an amazing fourth-quarter comeback and lifted Dallas (12-1) past Detroit, 28-27, to secure the NFC East title Sunday at Ford Field.
Detroit (6-7) appeared to have preserved the upset with 5:47 left, when Greg Blue recovered Witten's fumble at the Lions' 1-yard line. But the Cowboys got the ball back, allowing Romo just enough time for a game-winning drive.
Witten finished with a game-high 15 catches for 143 yards, and Romo completed 35 of 44 passes for 307 yards and two touchdowns.
Running back Marion Barber also had three touchdowns for Dallas.
