Dak Prescott's Road Struggles
Prospects look grim for Prescott, who has struggled away from home this season. It's become evident as he has "never cleared 268.5 yards on the road this season—0 for 6," a bold claim echoed in recent comments. His average of 232.2 yards per game does not inspire confidence, especially against Detroit's defense.
Fans shared their sentiments:
"His road performances have been below par. It’s alarming, to say the least," noted a fan.
Optimism for Dallas?
Some fresh perspectives came from forum commentators. Many believe Detroit’s defense is not as intimidating as it once was. One user observed, "This isn’t the Lions of the past few years. They lack protection in the middle Dallas will control the line on both sides." This raises questions about how well the Lions can contain the Cowboys' offense.
Others pointed out injuries plaguing the Lions, calling them an "injured team," particularly noting the absence of key players like Amon-Ra St. Brown and Frank Ragnow, affecting their offensive line and overall performance.
Defensive Matchups to Watch
The Detroit Lions, despite being slightly better this year, recently struggled against strong offenses, as highlighted by their defeat against the Packers. “The Lions just got cooked by Wicks and Watson,” warned a commenter, suggesting the Cowboys might exploit similar weaknesses.
