Cowboys’ Playoff Hopes Fade After Detroit Loss as CeeDee Lamb Shows Early Progress From Concussion

Models now place Dallas’s postseason chances near 9 percent after the loss.

Overview

  • Dallas fell 44-30 to the Lions, ending a three-game win streak and sharply narrowing the team’s postseason path, per The Athletic and NFL Next Gen Stats.
  • CeeDee Lamb is in the concussion-evaluation process after a scary third-quarter hit, and coach Brian Schottenheimer said the receiver “had a good day” with extra recovery time ahead.
  • Turnovers swung the game as the Cowboys committed three and the defense generated none, while explosive plays repeatedly broke Dallas’s coverage.
  • A late offensive pass interference call on Jake Ferguson drew strong pushback from the Cowboys, and Lions linebacker Alex Anzalone suggested he helped alert officials to the infraction.
  • George Pickens faced criticism for effort and posted a since-deleted response to TV commentary; Schottenheimer said he will address the matter with the wideout.
