How to watch the Lions/Cowboys game: Amazon Prime Video’s Thursday Night Football
The Detroit Lions welcome the Dallas Cowboys to Ford Field for Week 14’s Thursday Night Football. This matchup profiles as a potentially high-scoring duel with playoff implications: Detroit, a perennial contender for the last few years, has found themselves in an unusually vulnerable position, while the Cowboys, who struggled to start the season, have re-entered the playoff picture on the back of one of the league’s top passing offenses.
Much of Dallas’ resurgence as of late has come from the combination of a healthy Dak Prescott throwing to superstar wideouts CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens. Their defense, however, remains a major vulnerability in this matchup. Though the ‘Boys defense has improved from league-worst in recent weeks, they still struggle against the pass, and they’ll face one of the league’s premier offensive squads, featuring QB Jared Goff and top-tier weapons like Amon-Ra St. Brown (if he’s cleared to play), Jahmyr Gibbs and Jameson Williams.
Detroit’s offense is the league’s third-ranked attack, and they’ll put it to good use against the Cowboys, but they, too, may find countering the Cowboy’s dynamic offense as tall order with a banged-up secondary. Expect a high-energy game through the air from both teams.
The Lions have home-field advantage, which could tilt things in their favor, but this matchup is likely to be a close one that have a definite impact each team’s NFC playoff positioning.
