For the first time since losing opening weekend, the Dallas Cowboys will be heading into a matchup with a foul taste in their mouths. Losing to a rival hurts, but the show must go on and that means preparing for the Detroit Lions in Week 7. It’s also the first time the Cowboys will be playing a team coming off of a bye week. After a divisional matchup on Sunday night on the road, the Lions will surely be the fresher team heading into the game.

A new winning streak could be awaiting, and that needs to begin with an improved Lions team, who have an offense that can put up points. Here are six things to know about the Lions ahead of the Week 7 matchup.
