"The normal circumstances are different in this game as both teams are coming off a full week of rest, playing back-to-back Thursdays after doing their annual hosting on Thanksgiving. The Cowboys beat the Chiefs in the most watched NFL game ever on Thanksgiving, and now will play on the Thursday following Turkey Day for the first time since 2018 when they beat Washington on the holiday and New Orleans the following week."
"Last season, the Lions beat the Chicago Bears on Thanksgiving, at the time coached by current Cowboys defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus. The following Thursday, they beat another division rival in the Green Bay Packers. This time around, it will be a loss to the Packers the Lions are coming off of to play the Cowboys for the fourth season in a row, now trailing the Bears in the NFC North."
Both teams enter Week 14 on a full week of rest while playing back-to-back Thursdays after hosting Thanksgiving. The Cowboys beat the Chiefs in the most-watched NFL game ever on Thanksgiving and will play the Thursday after Turkey Day for the first time since 2018, seeking a fourth straight win. The Lions are undergoing a rare consecutive-Thursday stretch for the second straight year and are coming off a loss to the Packers, now trailing the Bears in the NFC North. Playoff stakes are significant: the Cowboys are 6-5-1 and over .500, while the Lions are 7-5 and aiming to regain form and positioning.
