I think I would have saved these for a road playoff game. Streak is going to be on the line.

Lions still have a spot open on the 53 man and can elevate two players from the practice squad. Irvin has one more elevation left. They will still need room for CJGJ, Houston and McNeil.

can he play corner?  he's probably faster than jacobs.

[Motown Bombers]

They didn't elevate a defense back. So thinking Brock Wright goes on IR.

Josina has been missing lately. I don't consider her a good source.

Sutton is in

Not sure if I want to watch this game or the Pistons. Tough decision.

Maybe this will turn out to be a version 2.0 of the Baltimore game and we get blown out. But if we want to go out and show the world that we are legit, then we got out and win or at minimum lose a very close game. 

Dallas has a decent, but by no means great, run defense. We run the ball well and win when our combo of backs runs for north of 120 yards. Why can't our running attack lead us to victory. I think it can. I'm going with the Lions tonight over the Cowboys. Lions 30 - Dallas 27.

Mooch is right, Detroit is really the #1 rush team. If you take away the qb rushing yards from the teams ahead of us, we're way ahead. I think he said Hurts and Fields.

Yes, if they can run the ball and control the clock, they can keep it close. And a close game may favor the Lions.

Jimmy Johnson is a bum who needed a super team to win in the 90s. He didn't win squat when he went to Miami. Ok, so he's a good coach, but I really hope we spoil his ring of honor night tonight.

Prediction:

Dallas 45

Detorit 24

I would love to see the Lions take the ball if they win the flip and take an 8 minute TD drive. Like they did in Minnesota.

I haven't been this relaxed before a Lions game all season.
