TNF Recap: Lions Offense Explodes in 44-30 Win Over Cowboys

Lions Roar Past Cowboys in Shootout

The Detroit Lions kicked off Week 14 with an offensive masterclass, defeating the Dallas Cowboys 44-30 at home. The victory improves Detroit's record to 8-5, keeping them firmly in the NFC North race.

Key Fantasy Takeaways

• Lions Offense: The Lions moved the ball at will. Jared Goff continued his efficient play, and the running back duo of Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery feasted on a Cowboys defense that struggled to stop the run.
• Cowboys Struggles: Dallas falls to 6-6-1. While the offense put up 30 points, much of it came in catch-up mode. Dak Prescott was forced to throw often as the game script turned negative early.

Playoff Implications

• Detroit: This win is crucial for seeding. At 8-5, they remain a top contender in the NFC.
• Dallas: Now at 6-6-1, the Cowboys' margin for error is razor-thin as they fight for a Wild Card spot.
