Lions Thump Cowboys 44-30 on TNF as Gibbs Scores Three and Playoff Picture Shifts

The victory revived Detroit’s postseason outlook, leaving Dallas with single-digit odds.

Overview

  • Detroit moved to 8-5 behind Jahmyr Gibbs’ three rushing touchdowns, three takeaways on defense, and Jared Goff’s 309 yards with a touchdown.
  • Dallas fell to 6-6-1 as Dak Prescott threw for 376 yards with one TD, two interceptions and five sacks, and the Cowboys never held a lead.
  • CeeDee Lamb exited in the third quarter with a concussion after six catches for 121 yards and was ruled out.
  • A late offensive pass interference call on Jake Ferguson was widely questioned, with Prescott calling it “bad” and a rules analyst saying the move appeared legal.
  • Playoff models lifted Detroit’s chances into roughly the mid-40s to low-50s while dropping Dallas to about 7–9%, as Brandon Aubrey hit five field goals including three from 55-plus and George Pickens drew criticism for a quiet night.
