As Week 14 begins, the Dallas Cowboys will go on the road to face the Detroit Lions for “Thursday Night Football.”Both of these teams played on Thanksgiving. The Lions were upset by the Green Bay Packers, while the Cowboys held strong at home and beat the Kansas City Chiefs. Dallas enters Week 14 with a 6-5-1 record. The Cowboys sit in second place in the NFC East and trail the Philadelphia Eagles by two games. If the playoffs started today, Dallas would be on the outside looking in. Only seven teams will make the NFC’s playoff bracket, and the Cowboys are currently the No. 9 team in the NFC. The Lions’ loss to the Packers hurt their playoff standing. Detroit is now also outside the NFC’s playoff picture. The Lions had a chance to head into Week 14 atop the NFC North, but instead they sit in third behind the Chicago Bears and the Green Bay Packers. Detroit has a 7-5 record, trailing the Bears by one game, putting a lot of importance on each of the Lions’ remaining games. The Sporting News is tracking LIVE updates as the Cowboys take on the Lions for Week 14’s “Thursday Night Football.”STREAM: Watch Cowboys vs. Lions LIVE with Amazon Prime VideoCowboys vs. Lions scoreNFL HQ:Live NFL scores | Updated NFL standings | Full NFL scheduleCowboys vs. Lions results, highlights from Week 14 “Thursday Night Football.”All times ET. TOUCHDOWN — Lions 30, Cowboys 2710:55 p.m. –The Cowboys take over with 11:50 left in the game, trailing by 11.

And for the Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown is active.— Todd Archer (@toddarcher) December 4, 20256:46 p.m. — One of the biggest storylines of the game has been whether or not star Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown will be able to suit up. He missed nearly all of Detroit’s Week 13 loss to the Green Bay Packers due to an ankle injury. While it was assumed that he would need another week, the wide receiver went through workouts and gave ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler a thumbs up running off the field when asked if he was going to play. 6:35 p.m. — The Cowboys will be wearing dark navy jerseys.
