Prescott & Lamb Propel Cowboys vs. Lions

The Dallas Cowboys are looking to extend their winning streak against the Detroit Lions on Thursday Night Football. Quarterback Dak Prescott has been on a tear, leading the league in passing yards per game and throwing for over 320 yards in his last two contests. His primary target, CeeDee Lamb, also thrives against man coverage, which the Lions employ frequently, positioning him for a strong outing.

Detroit's defense faces a significant challenge, particularly with injuries to key secondary players. They rank poorly against top wide receivers and have allowed numerous big pass plays. This vulnerability could open the door for Prescott and Lamb to exploit the Lions' secondary, especially considering Dallas' likely game script as underdogs.

On the Lions' side, running back Jahmyr Gibbs is projected to have a substantial impact in the passing game. Dallas ranks near the bottom in DVOA against running backs in receiving yards. With potential reliance on shorter throws due to pressure and injuries to other key offensive players, Gibbs is expected to see increased targets and opportunities.
