The upcoming Saturday night presents a significant opportunity for the Dallas Cowboys, with all eyes on America’s Team as they aim to recover from back-to-back losses. Returning home, where they have been formidable, is crucial for them. The Cowboys missed chances to secure the NFC East Division and the No. 2 seed in the NFC by losing to the Buffalo Bills and Miami Dolphins on the road.
Now back at Jerry World, Dak Prescott emphasizes the importance of the team being focused on the task at hand – facing the Detroit Lions. Prescott stated, “What we want is in front of us.” Although both teams have secured a postseason berth, neither is taking this game lightly.

On one side, Dan Campbell’s team aims to prove that their record is not a fluke, demonstrating their ability to compete with winning teams. On the other side, the Dallas Cowboys have been dominant at home in Arlington but struggled on the road. Additionally, entering the playoffs on a losing streak is undesirable, and Mike McCarthy’s team needs to regain momentum as the postseason looms.
While the Cowboys have the talent to make a significant postseason run, their history of shortcomings suggests that seeing is believing at this point.
