"As we continue evaluating what a realistic finish to the Cowboys' 2025 season looks like, it's important to acknowledge just how turbulent the journey has already been. Dallas entered the bye week searching for answers, then dove headfirst into the unforgiving Thanksgiving gauntlet; three games in 11 days that tested their depth, coaching, and mental toughness. They emerged bruised, inconsistent, but still alive in the NFC playoff chase."
"What does that usually mean? Offense. Lots and lots of offense. Jared Goff thrives in controlled environments like Ford Field, and with Detroit's full arsenal of weapons, this matchup has shootout potential that rivals the Cowboys' tie with the Packers earlier in the year. Dak Prescott will counter with CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens, Jake Ferguson, and a running game that's been steady when healthy."
The Cowboys entered a turbulent 2025 stretch after a bye week and a brutal Thanksgiving gauntlet of three games in 11 days that tested depth, coaching, and mental toughness. The team emerged bruised and inconsistent but remains alive in the NFC playoff chase. The upcoming slate features two NFC North challengers followed by a deceptive AFC West opponent, starting with a short-rest road Thursday night at Detroit. Both teams should be battered and exhausted, increasing shootout potential. Jared Goff typically performs well in Ford Field environments, and the matchup projects as a high-scoring, physically taxing contest that will stress roster depth.
