"Part of what is frustrating from Thursday night's results is the way in which the Cowboys lost. They made it a bit of a game in the second half, but they were out-classed by Detroit for a lot of the game. In some ways the score properly represents what happened as Dallas was chasing the Lions all night, but in other ways it doesn't reflect the back-and-forth nature of the second half before everything broke."
"The Cowboys put up 30+ points and 400+ total yards and lost. That is a pretty rare thing. Consider that the team has reached these marks 143 different times in their history. The screenshot you are looking at here though features only 16 of them, the losses. This had me curious about the defensive side of things. The Cowboys surrendered 40+ points, but "only" 408 total yards."
The Cowboys lost to the Detroit Lions on Thursday night and missed a chance to win four consecutive games. Dallas scored 30-plus points and gained over 400 total yards yet still lost, a rare outcome tied to 143 such performances in team history, with 16 of those resulting in losses. The Cowboys surrendered 40-plus points while allowing only 408 total yards, aided by short fields created by special teams breakdowns. Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs scored three rushing touchdowns on 12 carries, demonstrating high scoring efficiency in limited opportunities.
