After another escape, this one from the city of steel in an anthology evening, those dressed in silver blue were able to separate themselves from their, at times, bad fortune, for a celebrated victory.
Some will say that they won badly, that they did not deserve to win… but in this <a href="https://www.archysport.com/2022/01/i-already-want-to-see-my-cowboys-new-tigres-stadium-dreams-of-nfl/" title="'I already want to see my Cowboys'; New Tigres Stadium Dreams of NFL“>National Football League (NFL) it is never easy to win and for a team looking for solutions, a victory is a victory is a victory. In the sport you choose. Adversity is what forges steel and in this case, with matchday six in sight, these Vaqueros take a faithful step forward while continuing to search for their true personality.
After appearing on the national stage in a great duel with a great history against the Steelers, they are now prepared and inspired Lions who arrive rested after their week off. These two have met 31 times with three in the postseason and after losing their inaugural season 23-14 in Detroit on December 11, 1960, the record so far is now 19-12 in favor of the Texan team.
The most painful being that 38-6 in the missing Silverdome of Pontiac in a divisional game where the great Barry Sanders gave them such a dance that Tony Casillas himself was left seeing visions in search of the runner who is now part of the historical video of the big league . That was that January 5, 1992 when the duo Jerry Jones and Jimmy Johnson began to pick up the pieces.
But the one that is very present in the minds of lion after lion is that 20-19 on December 30, 2023 with that of, “this is the eligible one, or maybe that other one…” The fact is that it was a victory of the hosts with Machiavellian overtones that gave him another valid reason to come and enjoy the show.
The truth is that these Lions have the Vikings (5-0) as division leaders and if they can meet their commitment in Arlington they would be visiting the Nordics at their US Bank Stadium in Minneapolis for matchday seven with a view to first place, while The Cowboys will have their mandatory bye week.
For this sixth day, the Vaqueros have the twelfth total offense in the league, second to last with 32 per carry and number two with the pass averaging 271.6 yards per game. On defense they are fifteen in total, 24 against the run and eleven against the pass.
For their part, these beasts bring total offense number three, number six with the carry and seven with delivery through the air. Defensively they are 22nd overall, being number four against the run allowing an average per game of 90.8 yards and number 27 per pass.
It is worth mentioning that in the area of penalties, the pupils of the peppery Texan product of Texas A&M Dan Campbell have a total of 31 instances allowing 307 yards against, while Mike McCarthy’s team carries a total of 43 with 331 yards against.
With this in mind, let’s look at the five keys to the game between, for now, teams seeking to be true protagonists of the current race in this National Conference (NFC) of the NFL.
