Cowboys and Lions Battle for Playoff Survival in Week 14 Showdown
Dallas and Detroit face off in a crucial Thursday night game with significant playoff implications in the NFC Wild Card race.
Dallas travels to Detroit for a Thursday night clash with postseason implications on the line. Both teams enter with their backs against the wall in what amounts to a must-win game for playoff positioning.
The Cowboys have seized momentum, winning three straight games after acquiring defensive lineman Quinnen Williams. The offensive trio of Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb, and George Pickens has emerged as the NFL's most formidable quarterback-receiver combination, fueling a potent attack that could carry Dallas deeper into the playoff picture.
Detroit enters the contest looking to bounce back from a loss to the Green Bay Packers. The Lions will have superstar wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown available, giving quarterback Jared Goff the firepower needed to keep pace with Dallas's explosive offense.
The stakes are stark: one team will gain critical ground in the NFC Wild Card race. The other risks being left out of the postseason entirely.
Kickoff is scheduled for 8:15 p.m. ET on Thursday Night Football.
