Ahead of every Detroit Lions game in 2025, we will provide readers with an updated depth chart of the team’s roster based on information gathered throughout the week. In Week 14, the Detroit Lions (7-5) are wrapping up a three-game home stand and are taking on the Dallas Cowboys (6-5-1) on “Thursday Night Football.”

To help you prepare for this matchup, we have a detailed Lions depth chart that not only ranks all players but also provides the latest news on roster moves, injury statuses, and other relevant developments. For your viewing experience, we have listed the player’s number (in...

It’s time to put up or shut up now. The Detroit Lions’ room for error is razor-thin, and while a loss doesn’t eliminate them from playoff contention, it certainly makes it extremely difficult, considering they play one of the best teams in the NFC next week. The loss to the Green Bay Packers on Thanksgiving was rough, but it’s time to turn the page and focus on the Dallas Cowboys now. Both teams are on the outside of the playoffs currently, and with the Lions on a downward trend recently, they host a Cowboys team on a three-game winning streak,...

It’s do or die time for the Detroit Lions and Dallas Cowboys. While this isn’t a mathematical “must-win” game for either team, their playoff odds become extreme longshots with a loss on Thursday night.

What team has the statistical edge? Why are the Lions three-point favorites with the current trajectory? And who wins?

I’ll break it all down in this week’s Lions vs. Cowboys On Paper preview and prediction.

It’s been a mostly solid season for the Detroit Lions’ passing attack and no statistical performance may have been...

After the Packers handed the Lions another disappointing Thanksgiving—completing the season sweep and flipping the script after Dan Campbell previously had Matt LaFleur’s number, while adding insult to injury with fourth-down success—Detroit now finds itself backed against the wall in terms of postseason survival. As Campbell put it this week, “time’s running out,” and the Lions must find a way to win the game in front of them.

Following losses in three of their last five games since the bye, Detroit now faces a red-hot Cowboys team in the Lions’ third straight home game. As the Lions have slid to...

Both the Detroit Lions and Dallas Cowboys are currently on the outside of the NFC playoff picture looking in, but a “Thursday Night Football” matchup between the two could make all of the difference for one of the two teams. The Cowboys are riding a strong three-game winning streak, while the Lions have lost two of their last three.

Can the Lions turn their season around before it’s too late, or will the Cowboys continue to make their improbable run to the postseason? Here’s how you can watch an extremely important Thursday Night Football matchup.

**When is the Cowboys...

We are back with a new episode of “Before the Roar” to get ready for a huge “Thursday Night Football” game between the Detroit Lions and the Dallas Cowboys. After a tough loss to the Green Bay Packers on Thanksgiving, the Lions find themselves in a must-win situation in Week 14 in order to keep their playoff aspirations afloat.

Joining me (Morgan) to break things down ahead of the game is my good friend and host of the Pride of Detroit PODcast, Meko Scott. We kick things off by discussing the Cowboys’ recent surge after a tough start to the...

It’s been a rough season for Detroit Lions safety Kerby Joseph. After a strong start—nabbing three interceptions in the first six games of the season—Joseph has been sidelined with a knee injury for the past six contests. The Lions have not placed him on injured reserve, yet he hasn’t practiced, and the only updates we’ve been regularly getting is that he’s improving.

Things came to a head this week when Joseph went on social media, posted a couple of concerning messages (“God help me,” “I’m lost 4 words”) before deleting his social media accounts completely.

Afterwards, we got a little...

It’s not quite a must-win game, but it’s just about as close as you can get to one. The Detroit Lions’ playoff odds with a loss to the Dallas Cowboys would drop their odds of making it to the postseason to just 12%, while a win would jump their probability to 45% (per the New York Times).

The stakes have not been higher this year, so the Lions are going to need some heroics from their roster. Whether it’s stopping the Cowboys’ high-powered offered, or trying to run on their new-and-improved defensive front, the Lions have their work cut out...

Less than a week ago, the vibes were at an all-time high in Detroit. Frank Ragnow was set to return, the Detroit Lions had a chance to get even with the Green Bay Packers on Thanksgiving, and it was finally time to re-join the playoff picture.

What a difference a week makes.

This week, we had the pleasure of connecting with David Halprin, Deputy Manager for Blogging the Boys, to give us some insight into Jerry’s world. We learned about how this team has responded in the face of tragedy, why Dak Prescott is the main reason this Dallas Cowboys’...

I knew my prediction last week was bold, and it was the biggest whiff I’ve had so far this year. Sometimes you’ve got to go big or go home, and I learned that sometimes shooting that far up is risky. This week, I want to predict something that seems bold, but not too bold.

The Detroit Lions host the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday night, and the Cowboys come in with the number two offense in the NFL, averaging 29.3 points per game. When the Cowboys score over 24 points, they are 5-1-1. In their other five losses, they scored 14,...
