Cowboys vs Lions: 6 things to know about Week 17 opponent

The last few weeks haven’t been kind to the Dallas Cowboys, who have lost their last two games. Mike McCarthy’s team hasn’t lost back-to-back games since 2021 and both defeats came on the road, where the team struggles to play well.

The Lions are every bit as formidable as the last three opponents, so the Cowboys will have to prove they can bounce back and beat a good team. Here are six things to know about the Lions, the Week 17 opponent for the Cowboys.
