The Lions love to throw long; only Cincinnati has thrown more "deep" passes (16 or more yards through the air pass the line of scrimmage). However, Dallas opponents have only completed 31 percent of deep passes, the best figure for any defense in the NFL.
Thirty-eight percent of runs against the Lions have gone around either left end or right end, the highest percentage in the league. Dallas is the best team in the NFL running around right end, although the Cowboys have been merely average on runs around left end.
The Lions have thrown 38 percent of passes to third or fourth wideouts, the highest percentage in the league. The Cowboys have thrown just six percent of passes to third or fourth wideouts, the second-lowest percentage in the league.
