Cowboys’ playoff chances take a major hit after brutal Week 14 loss to Lions

D210SPORTS

The Dallas Cowboys wrapped up a grueling stretch — 4 games in 17 days — with another tough loss, falling 44–30 to the Detroit Lions in Week 14. Dallas allowed 40+ points for the third time this season, and offensive struggles once again told the story.  Head coach Brian Schottenheimer admitted the team is “kicking way too many field goals,” with the Cowboys managing just three FGs and zero touchdowns in the first half.  Kicker Brandon Aubrey was a bright spot, finishing 5-for-5 and becoming the first player in NFL history to make three field goals of 55+ yards in a single game.  Javontae Williams crossed 1,000 yards and scored, but the night took a turn when CeeDee Lamb exited in the third quarter with a concussion and did not return.  The playoff picture? Not pretty. Even if Dallas wins out, they sit at a 7% chance to make the postseason and 4% to win the division per Next Gen Stats.  🔔 Subscribe for more Cowboys coverage! 📲 Follow D210SPORTS on all platforms for daily updates.  #DallasCowboys #CowboysNation #NFL #CowboysHighlights #D210SPORTS #CowboysVsLions #DakPrescott #CeeDeeLamb #BrandonAubrey #NFLPlayoffs
