Cowboys vs Lions: 6 things to know about Week 17 opponent

Skill players on offense and a talented defense are among the six things to know about the opponent for the Dallas Cowboys in Week 17. | From @BenGrimaldi

The last few weeks haven’t been kind to the Dallas Cowboys, who have lost their last two games. Mike McCarthy’s team hasn’t lost back-to-back games since 2021 and both defeats came on the road, where the team struggles to play well.

Luckily for the Cowboys they’re back home now; it’s a team that’s undefeated at AT&T Stadium and winners of 15 straight in Jerry World. Dallas doesn’t just win at home, they dominate, and they’ll need to play much better this week as the Detroit Lions come to town in Week 17.

The Lions are every bit as formidable as the last three opponents, so the Cowboys will have to prove they can bounce back and beat a good team. Here are six things to know about the Lions, the Week 17 opponent for the Cowboys.
