As @spags52 writes, the Cowboys knew on Friday their defense would be depleted, so they needed a strong showing from Dak Prescott and the offense. They didn't get it.

Fresh off the best rushing performance of the season, the Cowboys couldn't find their footing against the Lions, rushing for just 53 yards.

They're usually one of the most feared QB-WR duos in the entire NFL, but Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb have something to fix during the bye week.

The Cowboys had plenty of key players out on defense but the veterans said that's "not a good excuse" for the performance against the Lions. 

It was as humiliating an ordeal as the Dallas Cowboys have experienced, let alone on their own field, and Jerry Jones isn't holding back in his review.

You could throw a penny into the huddle and hit someone accountable for what the Detroit Lions, and Dak Prescott says the loss was a gut check.

The Cowboys knew they were going to be facing an uphill battle with so many defensive injuries, but the offense didn't come close to helping them out.

Plays that might get forgotten include the first two drives for the Cowboys, who had miscues that cost them a pair of touchdown chances.

The Cowboys began the season needing to lean on young players, writes @spags52, but now with more injuries hitting the team, they'll be relying on this evolving youth movement even more.

Nearly every time the Dallas Cowboys and the Detroit Lions meet, it becomes one of the most epic clashes of that respective NFL season, and it might be no different in 2024.

The Cowboys had 10 different receivers catch a pass last week in Pittsburgh, just another example of Dak spreading the wealth in the passing game. 

CeeDee Lamb has seen his numbers drop in the second half this year. But neither the receiver, nor his coach or quarterback, seem concerned by the trend.

With the reappearance of DaRon Bland at practice, the looming debut of the Dallas Cowboys' cornerback trio is infusing spice into the secondary.
