Lions vs. Cowboys preview: 3 key matchups, statistical notes

Welcome to my Week 6 observations for the Detroit Lions matchup at the Dallas Cowboys. The Lions are looking to get off the schneid in this series, as they’ve lost six straight games against the Cowboys, including five road games, with their last win coming in 2013.

Unless otherwise indicated, all statistics were made available via NFL Pro. Now, let’s take a look at what the Lions are up against with these cowhands.

The Cowboys will continue to be without starting edge defenders Micah Parsons and DeMarcus Lawrence, plus rookie Marshawn Kneeland, and now starting linebacker, green dot, and long-time Mike Zimmer consigliere Eric Kendricks.
