🔥 What to Look For in Week 14
1. Detroit’s Injury Concerns Hit Critical Level
The Lions enter this matchup with uncertainty surrounding multiple key players. Every inactive name on the list changes Detroit’s game plan dramatically — particularly on offense. Depth will be tested, and Dan Campbell must adjust on the fly.
2. Cowboys’ Pass Rush vs. Lions’ Offensive Line
This might be the matchup of the night.
Dallas thrives on chaos up front, and if Goff doesn’t get time, Detroit’s offense becomes one-dimensional fast.
3. Can the Lions Finish Drives?
Red zone struggles have haunted the Lions for three straight weeks.
Against Dallas, field goals won’t cut it. Whoever wins inside the 20s likely wins the game.
4. Explosive Plays Could Swing Everything
Both teams have big-play weapons — but Detroit’s availability concerns mean someone unexpected may need to step up. Dallas, meanwhile, will try to hit the Lions early and force them to play catch-up.
5. The Pressure Cooker: Playoff Implications
Both teams are fighting for playoff positioning, meaning tension will be high.
Detroit wants to avoid spiraling. Dallas wants to prove they belong among the NFC’s elite.
