Detroit Lions vs. Dallas Cowboys preview, prediction: On Paper
Advantage: Lions +1. Despite the injuries, Detroit is still a productive passing unit. Jameson Williams, Jahmyr Gibbs, and even rookie WR Isaac TeSlaa have proven to be reliable weapons, but the front will need to keep Jared Goff clean to stand a chance, and that’s why I’m only giving the Lions a single point advantage here.
Detroit's front-seven was much more impactful than in recent weeks, with five total sacks against Prescott. The group also limited Javonte Williams to 3.9 yards per carry, a solid feat as they held the Cowboys under 100 rushing yards as a team.
Nolan Bianchi, Richard Silva, John Niyo and Bob Wojnowski of The Detroit News offer predictions for Thursday's game between the Lions and Cowboys.
In a high-scoring Thursday night contest, the Dallas Cowboys fell to the Detroit Lions 44–30, and the loss was compounded by a third-quarter concussion suffered by star wide receiver CeeDee Lamb.
The Dallas Cowboys had some concerning injury news on veteran Jadeveon Clowney, Trevon Diggs and Tyler Guyton.
The Dallas Cowboys are on the outside of the playoff picture as they head to Detroit for a pivotal December game.
The Detroit Lions and Dallas Cowboys are at very different levels of momentum, but the point stands that they are each in need of getting a win this week. The Lions are at risk of missing the playoffs after a loss to the Green Bay Packers that has them 7-5 and trading wins and losses for eight straight games.
