To.......This
Last week, the Lions pulled off an amazing 20-point comeback against the Vikings. This week the Lions take the national stage as FOX's premier game against the Cowboys. The Lions come to Dallas as one-point underdogs despite their 3-0 record. Oddsmakers apparently were convinced by the Cowboys' impressive win over the Redskins on Monday night.
Let's not let that distract us, because we are obviously the best team in the NFL and wouldn't want to get cocky. The Detroit Lions will come out with that fire as they have been doing all season and will show the Dallas Cowboys that they cannot pull those comebacks against the Lions.
Led by a quarterback who grew up in Dallas during those Aikman, Smith and Irvin glory days, a receiver who might be the best in the NFL and a rapidly maturing defense, Detroit is on the rise.
The Lions head to Cowboys Stadium on Sunday seeking another victory that could stamp them as a team to beat in the NFL this season, that is, if they aren't already. Detroit (3-0) has the league's longest winning streak, seven. If we count the preseason games, than they are at 11 consecutive wins.
Tony Romo has won the past two games while playing with a cracked rib, and many of his most talented teammates are sidelined or also playing through pain. Romo is expected to wear a protective vest and to take painkilling medication before kickoff.
Goals for each team
Detroit:
- Start off strong
- Contain Tony Romo and bring pressure because he is hurt
- Play as a team
- Prevent the Lions from starting off the first quarter with fire
- Guard all short passes to the running backs
- Put points on the board
- Touchdowns instead of field goals
