Lions player to watch

Assuming Jared Goff throws an incompletion against the Cowboys, it would be the first since September 22nd for the Lions QB. Goff set an NFL record by completing all 18 of his passes in the win over Seattle, and the Lions were out last week. Goff’s series total is 19 completions, six fewer than the NFL record of 25 shared by Nick Foles, Marcus Mariota, Philip Rivers and Ryan Tannehill. Goff faces a pass defense that could see reinforcements with the return of CB DaRon Bland. After setting an NFL record with five interception returns for touchdowns last season, Bland missed the first five games following surgery for a stress fracture in his foot late in the preseason.

Cowboys player to watch

RB Rico Dowdle will look to maintain the momentum from the best game of his career against the Steelers, which gave a boost to the NFL’s worst rushing offense in four weeks. The undrafted fifth-year player set career highs in carries (20), yards rushing (87) and scrimmage yards (114) against Pittsburgh. Dowdle has clearly taken over the lead role from Ezekiel Elliott, a two-time rushing champion for the Cowboys who returned to his original team in the offseason. Dallas is now 31st in rushing after rushing for a season-high 109 yards against Pittsburgh.

Key match

Cowboys QB Dak Prescott against a Detroit pass defense that includes struggling rookie CB Terrion Arnold. Prescott answered a three-turnover game against Pittsburgh by leading the Cowboys on a game-winning 70-yard drive, capped by his 4-yard touchdown pass to Jalen Tolbert with 20 seconds left. Prescott was 29 of 42 for 352 yards and two touchdowns with two interceptions and a lost fumble. Arnold was called for pass interference or holding seven times in four games. The 24th overall pick from Alabama insists he is confident enough not to be discouraged by the penalty-filled start to his career.
