Come join our first half live chat for Lions vs. Cowboys!
The Detroit Lions and Dallas Cowboys are set to face off for the third time in three seasons. The previous two have gone the Cowboys’ way—in fact, the last six of these games have resulted in Dallas wins—but through five weeks, the Lions look like the stronger team.
Detroit is bolstered by a strong running game and excellent play action. Defensively, they remain stout against the run, and they’ve seen some improvement in the secondary.
The Cowboys, on the other hand, have really struggled at running the ball and stopping the run—although both of those units have seen some success over the last two weeks. Dak Prescott remains a serious threat, especially when targeting All-Pro receiver CeeDee Lamb.
This is the part of the article where I’m obligated to bring up how the last matchup ended. Taylor Decker, Dan Skipper, reporting, blah, blah, blah. It’s a new year, a new team, and a new opportunity for the Lions to get this dang Cowboys monkey off their back.
So come join us for the first half of the game right here. Simply scroll down to the comment section and chat during the first two quarters. At halftime, check back at our homepage, and look for the second half open thread to continue the conversation.
See you at kickoff—4:25 p.m. ET.
