This Sunday, the Dallas Cowboys are set to face off against the Detroit Lions in a crucial NFC matchup. While a game against the Lions might not have always seemed significant in past years, head coach Dan Campbell has revitalized the franchise, transforming them into genuine contenders.
However, when it comes to playing the Cowboys, winning isn’t a familiar experience for the Lions. Historically, the two teams have met 31 times, with the Cowboys leading the series 19-12. This history suggests that Dallas holds the upper hand going into the game.
The Cowboys have emerged victorious in their last six encounters with the Lions, including a playoff win in 2015 that secured former Dallas quarterback Tony Romo his second and final postseason victory.
Despite the statistics, it’s unwise to count any team out before the game kicks off. The Lions appear even stronger this season than last. Yet, with a long history of losing to the Cowboys, pressure can build, leading to doubt among players and coaches.
Will the Cowboys continue their winning streak against the Lions? This matchup promises to be a significant test for both teams.
