This Week 14 matchup between the Dallas Cowboys and Detroit Lions is an important one for both teams in order to keep their playoff hopes alive. Add in the fact that they become bitter rivals in recent years and have a natural hate/dislike for one another, and this game shapes up to be a physical slugfest.

The Detroit Lions may have the home field advantage this week, but it hasn’t exactly served them too well in their last two home games. They narrowly escaped the Giants with an overtime victory in Week 12 and then pretty much got dominated on...

The Dallas Cowboys will visit the Detroit Lions on Thursday night and look for their fourth win in a row. If they get it then all of this positive momentum that the team has had relative to a potential playoff push is going to be absolutely out of this world.

It goes without saying that this is what we most want to see this week. The last few weeks have been a ton of fun for the Cowboys and everybody around here wants to keep the party going.

What has to happen for this to be the case, though? If...

Dallas Cowboys

Tyler Booker (OG)

First Round

Tyler Booker’s rookie season at right guard has quietly been very solid overall. By his most recent numbers, he’s logged 645 offensive snaps with 416 pass-blocking snaps, allowing just 16 total pressures and one sack, along with six penalties. He’s currently at just 4.6% in pressure rate allowed, which is fifth-lowest among guards this year, which is very...

Jerry Jones on Cowboys’ best road to playoffs, his defensive line, injuries and more – Tommy Yarrish, DallasCowboys.com

Jerry Jones invested a lot in his defensive tackles, and it sounds like there’s no plan to split up the super group.

Keeping Dallas’ interior defensive line trio together

Speaking of Williams, Jones was also complimentary of how he has fit in with, and opened things up for his teammates like Osa Odighizuwa and Kenny Clark. The three of them are paving the way up front for Dallas’ defensive turnaround the last three games.

After this...

The Dallas Cowboys are rolling with a three-game win streak, two of those games coming against last season’s Super Bowl participants. Now they have to travel to Detroit to face the Lions, a team that is trending in the other direction. The Lions have lost two of their last three leading to a 7-5 record. Suffice it to say, both teams desperately need this game to stay in the playoff hunt.

But the subject of our survey today is not the playoffs in particular. It is more around the belief that the Cowboys organization has things going in the right...

The Dallas Cowboys have made some noise over the last few weeks, leading to a three-game winning streak. In the midst of reaching a winning record for the first time this season, the NFL has opened its fan voting window to determine who will make it to the annual Pro Bowl game.

Last season, the Cowboys had an average year by their usual standards, with just five players nominated. Brandon Aubrey, CeeDee Lamb, Micah Parsons, Tyler Smith, and KaVontae Turpin were sent to represent Dallas.

Fans have a few weeks (December 15) until the voting window closes. If the Cowboys...

Dallas fans, start your engines. In two days, the Dallas Cowboys roll into the Motor City in hopes of extending their three-game win streak and slowing down a speedy Detroit Lions offense. The Lions (7-5) are one game ahead of the Cowboys in the NFC East playoff picture, but have been ravaged by injuries lately.

This past week, Detroit attempted to sign Frank Ragnow out of retirement but ultimately failed his physical. Tight end Sam LaPorta is on injured reserve, and it is hopeful at best that he returns before the end of the regular season. The Lions are wounded...

The intrigue is ramping up by the week with the 2025 Dallas Cowboys, who’ve clawed their way out of the NFL basement and into an increasingly rational playoff discussion. They still have a lot of work to do and may need some luck along with it to actually make the tournament. But no matter how things wind up for Dallas, one question that’s already been answered is whether or not Brian Schottenheimer deserves to return as head coach in 2026.

There have always been, and still are, differing opinions about Schottenheimer’s fitness for the job. Some have supported him from...

Heading into Week 14, the Dallas Cowboys suddenly find themselves in the thick of the NFC playoff race after three consecutive victories over the Raiders, Eagles, and Chiefs.

The team that once looked destined for an early offseason and high pick in the draft now look like one of the contenders for the Super Bowl, but there’s a catch: they have to make it to the playoffs first.

Dallas sits with a 6-5-1 record and ninth in the overall conference standings, just behind their next opponent, the Detroit Lions.

A victory in Detroit on Thursday Night Football would go a...

Fresh off a huge win over the Kansas City Chiefs on Thanksgiving Day, the Dallas Cowboys wrap up their three-game gauntlet this Thursday as they take on the Detroit Lions. Both the Cowboys and Lions desperately need to win this game to stay in the playoff hunt, so this figures to be a very competitive matchup. With that thought in mind, today, we take a look at three players Dallas will need to step up if they want to defeat the Lions.

1) RB Javonte Williams

Coming into their bye week back in Week 9, the Detroit Lions were riding...

Two weeks ago, before the wins over the Eagles and Chiefs, this would have been the focal point of the rest of the season.

Now, even though they have played themselves right back into at least a chance to make the playoffs, it is still getting to the point where it is fun to take a look at who may make the Pro Bowl for the Dallas Cowboys.

Others will make it, but one All-Pro player for the Cowboys is leading the entire league in voting, so it makes it a bit easier and newsworthy writing about.

TURPIN AT IT...

Life has changed for the Dallas Cowboys over the last two weeks and change as they have doubled up their season win total to sit at 6-5-1 as December football is here. Whether or not they are able to convert it into an opportunity to play deep into next month remains to be seen, but they have at the very least made this thing entertaining which is commendable.

For the Cowboys to have a serious chance they obviously have to take care of their own business, and they are going to have to pick up help across the rest of...
