The Detroit Lions have gained an edge over the Dallas Cowboys due to a combination of factors. One key advantage for the Lions lies in their strong offensive line. Both Penei Sewell and Taylor Decker have been standout performers, which has boosted the Lions’ run game and pass protection, critical to their recent successes. ESPN’s analytics also show Detroit’s line ranks highly in blocking efficiency, giving quarterback Jared Goff more time to execute plays
On the other hand, the Cowboys have faced defensive struggles, particularly in stopping the run. While their defense has shown some improvement, allowing fewer rushing yards than previous games, Detroit’s consistent ground attack with David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs could pose a challenge
Detroit’s offensive strength and the Cowboys’ occasional defensive inconsistencies position the Lions with a key advantage in this matchup, despite Dallas’ home-field dominance.
