The Dallas Cowboys and Detroit Lions meet on Thursday Night Football in Week 14 with both teams fighting to stay alive in the NFC playoff race.
Detroit enters at 7-5, coming off a tough Thanksgiving loss to Green Bay and suddenly facing an uphill climb in the NFC North with Chicago (9-3) and Green Bay (8-3-1) pulling ahead.
Dallas, meanwhile, has flipped its season with back-to-back upsets over the Eagles and Chiefs to climb to 6-5-1. With a favorable closing schedule — Detroit, Minnesota, the Chargers, Washington and the Giants — the Cowboys still have a real shot at sneaking into the postseason.
The rivalry history leans Dallas: 19–13 all-time and winners of six of the last seven, including playoffs. But oddsmakers still have Detroit favored heading into Thursday night.
This game isn’t just a matchup… it’s survival.

👇 Comment below: Who takes this crucial Week 14 showdown?
00:00While it's unlikely that we're going to see wide receiver Amon Ross St. Brown or cornerback Trayvon Diggs take the field for their respective teams, let's talk about what is likely to happen for some of these star Cowboys players.
00:16Kicker Brandon Aubrey needs two field goals to reach 100 career made and would qualify him as the second most accurate in NFL history. Running back Javonte Williams could eclipse the 1000 yard mark for the first time in his career with 45 rushing yards. And if tight end Jake Ferguson has two receptions, he'll set a career high in receptions.
00:39If the season ended today, both the Dallas Cowboys and the Detroit Lions would be on the outside looking into the playoff picture. And while the Lions are a half game up on the Cowboys right now, whoever wins this one is really going to be up to whose stars take charge. For all things Dallas Cowboys, you can tune into Spectrum Cable Channel 15 on Wednesday and Thursday nights at 11. For D210 Sports, I'm Sydney Staples and you've just been credentialed.
