When the Dallas Cowboys travel to Ford Field this week to face the Detroit Lions it is going to be one of the most important games of the season for both teams. For the Lions they are looking to stay within reach of the Green Bay Packers who will probably be pummeling the Minnesota Vikings later that day on Sunday night Football. They also would like to stay above the Chicago Bears, who are on their bye week. A win keeps them a game behind the Packers whom they lost to in Green Bay 3 weeks ago. It also puts them a half game up on the Bears. In the NFC North it is shaping up as a three team race, and when that happens one team usually has a good season and misses the post season. The Lions, a team that has a pathetic History in the post season cannot afford to be the team that falls into that 3rd place soup.

The Dallas Cowboys are on top of the NFC East, but they too cannot afford a loss. For one thing, the Cowboys need to sustain a string of wins. Two in a row is nice, but two in a row doesn't take you anywhere when the post arrives except back home to watch the remainder of the games from your couch. On top of this the scuttlebutt around the NFL now is that the Washington Commanders are finally getting their act together and could come up and challenge the Cowboys for the Division crown again. Unfortunately for the Commanders this week, they are going to face the Denver Broncos at Mile High. They might return to reeling quite quickly as the Broncos will look to atone for last week's loss in prime time to the Indianapolis Colts.
