The Cowboys have been dominant at home. Even if the Lions end up losing a close game, it will further signify progress for the Lions.

Cowboys vs Lions: 6 things to know about Week 17 opponent

.......

Ifeatu Melifonwu has emerged as a playmaking Safety for the Lions. He had his 1st interception of the season that sealed the game in Minnesota for the Lions, which sealed the NFC North Championship for the Lions. On the other hand, Jerry Jacobs, who has 3 interceptions for the season, was out with a hamstring injury in Minnesota. Jacobs didn't see any snaps at CB vs. Denver in the prior game, after struggling in recent games prior to the Lions win over the Broncos.

Cowboys have decision to make at RB2 with Rico Dowdle out vs Lions

.......

Entering this game, the Lions have a huge advantage with depth at RB. I'm anticipating the Cowboys being passing heavy in this game. Especially, with the Lions run Defense being one of the best in the NFL.

Lions will wear the all-white uniforms against the Cowboys

........

The days of the Cowboys always wearing their White Jerseys at home are long gone.

Tyson Alualu knocking off rust, could make Detroit Lions debut vs. Dallas Cowboys

Lions sign TE Anthony Firkser, elevate defensive vets for Week 17

...........


My guess is Charles Harris and Brodric Martin will be on the Game Day Inactive list. With Julian Okwara also a very realistic possibility to be Inactive for this game.

Lions vs. Cowboys: Last-minute thoughts and final score prediction

..........

Rico Dowdle is out with an ankle injury.

The Lions need to shorten the game, with a heavy emphasis on the running game between the tackles. Long drives that result in TDs would go along way in the Lions pulling off the upset at Dallas.

If the Cowboys heavily use Cover 2 on Defense, that should give the Lions an even greater advantage in running the ball against the Cowboys Defense.

Updates: CeeDee eyeing Irvin's records; LB elevated

..........

Malik Davis wasn't signed / promoted from the Cowboys Practice Squad. I'm anticipating that the Cowboys plan on passing much more than rushing in this game.

Detroit Lions vs. Dallas Cowboys: Dave Birkett's scouting report, prediction

........

A huge key in this game is how both teams do in the Red Zone. The Lions are probably going to give up plenty of yardage against the pass. Keeping the Cowboys from scoring TDs is critical.

Lions inactives for Week 17: Cam Sutton is active

.......

Very good Lions need regarding Cam Sutton being Active. Hopefully, the injury he's dealing with won't adversely affect his play or even worse lead to a different injury.

I'm surprised Charles Harris is on the Game Day roster.

Cowboys vs Lions inactives: Tyron Smith good to go

..........

Tyron Smith being back for the Cowboys helps them greatly.
