The Detroit Lions are coming off a week 5 bye with a 3-1 record. The Lions travel to “Jerry’s World” to take on Dak Prescott and the 3-2 Dallas Cowboys. Under Dan Campbell, the Lions have a record of 1-1-1 in three seasons, including a loss versus Dallas. The Detroit Lions may take this game personally after getting screwed out of a win last year against the Cowboys with a questionable illegal receiver call at the end of the game.
Detroit Lions Get Healthy During the Bye
The Detroit Lions had an early season bye week, but it was a chance for the team to get back some valuable pieces for the upcoming game against Dallas in week 6. Center Frank Ragnow, who missed the week 4 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks, returned to practice this week and is expected to play. Second-year standout defensive back Brian Branch also returned to practice and should play a big part in shutting down the one-dimensional offense of the Cowboys. Branch should be able to help to contain superstar Ceedee Lamb.
The Lions may treat this game against the Dallas Cowboys as a revenge game after their loss 20-19 last season against the Boys. The Lions had a late-game 2-point conversion called back in a controversial flag by the refs after mistaking the wrong lineman as being an eligible receiver. Look for the Detroit Lions to be prepared and fired up after their bye week.
What the Lions have to do to Win
The Detroit Lions have a few key things to focus on to get the W in Dallas. The Cowboys have one of the worst defensive rushing attacks, and when “Sonic and Knuckles” come to town (Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery), you are dealing with the best running back duo in the league. With Demarcus Lawrence out with a foot injury and Micah Parsons out with an ankle injury, the Cowboys’ defense is running thin. The Lions’ dominating offensive line should feast on a weakened opponent. Jared Goff is coming off a perfect 18 of 18 completion game and is looking to set a new NFL record of 25 straight completions.
The Detroit Lions have one of the best rush defenses in the entire league. As if the Cowboys didn’t already struggle running the ball, it will be even tougher against one of the best. Dallas is a one-dimensional team, and the Lions will have their hands full with Ceedee Lamb and the aerial attack. League sack leader Aiden Hutchinson will look to put pressure on Dak Prescott and force the quarterback to make poor decisions.
Final Thoughts
The Detroit Lions will take on the Dallas Cowboys in week 6. The struggling, beat-up Cowboys will have to bring their “A Game” to have a chance at winning against a healthy, gritty, tough Lions team. This Lions team is on a mission and coming off a bye week with extra time to prepare and heal up. The Lions will look to “punch” the Cowboys in the mouth and show the league who is really “America’s Team.” “Will the real ‘America’s Team’ please stand up?” “I think we’re going to have a problem here!”
