As @spags52 writes, the Cowboys knew on Friday their defense would be depleted, so they needed a strong showing from Dak Prescott and the offense. They didn't get it.

Fresh off the best rushing performance of the season, the Cowboys couldn't find their footing against the Lions, rushing for just 53 yards.

They're usually one of the most feared QB-WR duos in the entire NFL, but Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb have something to fix during the bye week.

The Cowboys had plenty of key players out on defense but the veterans said that's "not a good excuse" for the performance against the Lions. 

It was as humiliating an ordeal as the Dallas Cowboys have experienced, let alone on their own field, and Jerry Jones isn't holding back in his review.

You could throw a penny into the huddle and hit someone accountable for what the Detroit Lions, and Dak Prescott says the loss was a gut check.

The Cowboys knew they were going to be facing an uphill battle with so many defensive injuries, but the offense didn't come close to helping them out.

Plays that might get forgotten include the first two drives for the Cowboys, who had miscues that cost them a pair of touchdown chances.

The undermanned Cowboys were no match in their showdown against Detroit, losing to the Lions in a blowout, 47-9

Things got ugly for the Dallas Cowboys in their latest clash with the Detroit Lions, but there were several who did their best to stop the bleeding.

A weekly article debuts with a closer look at three statistical aspects to watch out for Sunday when the Lions come to town. 

Let's look at the top five games by a Cowboys player so far this season. 

The Cowboys are already without Micah Parsons and now the team's leading tackler is out as well. Eric Kendricks has been ruled out with calf/shoulder injuries. 

In a rematch of last year's controversial game in December, the Cowboys will take on a rested Lions group that have plenty of weapons on both sides of the ball. 

The Cowboys began the season needing to lean on young players, writes @spags52, but now with more injuries hitting the team, they'll be relying on this evolving youth movement even more.

Nearly every time the Dallas Cowboys and the Detroit Lions meet, it becomes one of the most epic clashes of that respective NFL season, and it might be no different in 2024.

The Cowboys had 10 different receivers catch a pass last week in Pittsburgh, just another example of Dak spreading the wealth in the passing game. 

CeeDee Lamb has seen his numbers drop in the second half this year. But neither the receiver, nor his coach or quarterback, seem concerned by the trend.

With the reappearance of DaRon Bland at practice, the looming debut of the Dallas Cowboys' cornerback trio is infusing spice into the secondary.

With Lions HC Dan Campbell on his way to Dallas for a Week 6 matchup, let's take a look at some of the top former Cowboys players who eventually became head coaches.

Welcome to "The Science Lab", a place where football facts and in-depth analysis always triumph over feelings.

Beware of revisionist history when it comes to last year's game against the Lions, writes @spags52 in his Weekly Mick Shots. 

The Cowboys rank near the bottom of the NFL in rushing but things appear to be turning up, especially with the play of Rico Dowdle, who is hitting stride at the right time for this offense.

There has been talk recently about the fire that burns with Jourdan Lewis, but it's always been there, and the Dallas Cowboys' tone-setter explains why it's hotter than ever. 

Here are the 10 most notable 'big facts' to remember ahead of Sunday's 3:25 CT kickoff on FOX.
