²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵÏÂÔØÈë¿Ú

A weekly article debuts with a closer look at three statistical aspects to watch out for Sunday when the Lions come to town. 

Let's look at the top five games by a Cowboys player so far this season. 

The Cowboys are already without Micah Parsons and now the team's leading tackler is out as well. Eric Kendricks has been ruled out with calf/shoulder injuries. 

In a rematch of last year's controversial game in December, the Cowboys will take on a rested Lions group that have plenty of weapons on both sides of the ball. 

The Cowboys began the season needing to lean on young players, writes @spags52, but now with more injuries hitting the team, they'll be relying on this evolving youth movement even more.

Nearly every time the ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵÏÂÔØÈë¿Ú and the Detroit Lions meet, it becomes one of the most epic clashes of that respective NFL season, and it might be no different in 2024.

The Cowboys had 10 different receivers catch a pass last week in Pittsburgh, just another example of Dak spreading the wealth in the passing game. 

CeeDee Lamb has seen his numbers drop in the second half this year. But neither the receiver, nor his coach or quarterback, seem concerned by the trend.

With the reappearance of DaRon Bland at practice, the looming debut of the ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵÏÂÔØÈë¿Ú' cornerback trio is infusing spice into the secondary.

With Lions HC Dan Campbell on his way to Dallas for a Week 6 matchup, let's take a look at some of the top former Cowboys players who eventually became head coaches.

Welcome to "The Science Lab", a place where football facts and in-depth analysis always triumph over feelings.

Beware of revisionist history when it comes to last year's game against the Lions, writes @spags52 in his Weekly Mick Shots. 

The Cowboys rank near the bottom of the NFL in rushing but things appear to be turning up, especially with the play of Rico Dowdle, who is hitting stride at the right time for this offense.

There has been talk recently about the fire that burns with Jourdan Lewis, but it's always been there, and the ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵÏÂÔØÈë¿Ú' tone-setter explains why it's hotter than ever. 

Here are the 10 most notable 'big facts' to remember ahead of Sunday's 3:25 CT kickoff on FOX.

Having tested his surgically-repaired foot, the Cowboys have made the first major decision in the looming return of DaRon Bland.

After missing the first five games of the season, there is a 'real chance' DaRon Bland can return to the field Sunday against the Lions. 

The Cowboys are starting to turn things around, despite dealing with a plethora of injuries. But at 3-2, they'll face a Lions team not only sitting at 3-1 and coming off a bye, but eager to avenge last year's controversial loss.

The hits just keep coming for the ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵÏÂÔØÈë¿Ú' defensive line, and the latest news on Marshawn Kneeland puts them in a bind as they approach a gauntlet of QBs. 

Jerry Jones details the chances of getting players such as Tyler Guyton, DaRon Bland and Micah Parsons back for the Lions game this Sunday.
