FRISCO, Texas — Yes, it’s only Week 6, but the 3-1 Detroit Lions facing the 3-2 Dallas Cowboys at AT&T Stadium may have as close to postseason energy as a middle-of-the-regular-season game can have.
Detroit comes back to the scene of its narrow defeat in Week 17 last season, a matchup that controversially ended with a 20-19 Dallas victory following the Lions attempting multiple failed two-point conversion tries in an effort to win the game in regulation.
The Cowboys are simply trying to win a home game. They are off to a 3-0 start on the road in 2024, but they are 0-2 this year at AT&T Stadium and have lost three in a row in their own building, including the 48-32 NFC wild-card round defeat against the Green Bay Packers in January. Prior to the past three home games, Dallas had won 16 home games in a row with its last one coming in that Week 17 escape against the Lions.
“We have a big challenge,” Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy said Monday. “We have to win a home game. We used to be pretty good at home. We need to win a home game. We really stress the importance of winning on the road, and we’re off to a good start. But we need to get that first home win.”
