    Lions vs Cowboys live score: updates, highlights, TV channel

    Detroit Lions football is back after a short break with a big NFC away game on Sunday.

    The Lions play the Dallas Cowboys on the road on Sunday afternoon. The Lions (3-1) are coming off their early bye in Week 5 and have some key players back in the lineup on both sides of the ball, while the Cowboys (3-2) are coming off a win over the Pittsburgh Steelers.

    There was controversy when these two teams last met in Week 17 last season. The Lions appeared to take the lead in the final moments with a successful 2-point conversion off a tackle-able pass to left tackle Taylor Decker. But referees awarded an illegal touching penalty after confusing him with reserve tackle Dan Skipper.

    The Lions are looking for their first win over Dallas since 2013 and to keep pace with the NFC’s other top teams early in the season.

    The game begins at 4:25 p.m. at AT&T Stadium in Arlington. It is televised on Fox and available to stream on Fubo (free trial).

    Lions vs Cowboys live updates, game highlights

    Linebacker James Houston, offensive lineman Colby Sorsdal and rookies Isaiah Williams, Loren Strickland, Gio Manu and Lauren Strickland are the Lions’ inactive players. Houston has been on the fringes of the roster equation all year and instead called up Isaac Ukwu from the practice squad.

    Lions vs. Cowboys pregame notes

    The Lions are healthier after their bye week with center Frank Ragnow and safety Brian Branch and face a weakened Cowboys team dealing with injuries at all three levels of defense.

    The Lions started clicking on offense in their last game against the Seahawks. The running game reached a new level, fueled by Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery, now armed with a new contract, and meshed well with a playmaking approach that quarterback Jared Goff perfected, going 18-for-18.

    The Cowboys earned a 20-17 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers last week when they scored a touchdown with 20 seconds left. They are missing four starters on defense, including Micah Parsons and DeMarcus Lawrence on the defensive line, but they still have a dangerous offense led by Dak Prescott and superstar receiver CeeDee Lamb. The Lions want revenge for last year’s controversial maiden in Dallas in Week 17.

    Lions vs Cowboys Prediction, Tips

    Dave Birkett, Detroit Free Press: The Lions lost in controversial fashion to the Cowboys last year after officials mistakenly called a tackle-eligible 2-point conversion following a late touchdown. And while no one in the Lions locker room is buying into this outcome, I feel like this team definitely feels like they owe the Cowboys something. The Lions should seek revenge on Sunday against a Dallas team that is undermanned defensively and not yet as cohesive as it was when it won the NFC East a season ago.

    The Cowboys are still a dangerous team, but they haven’t run the ball particularly well this year and can’t stop the run, and that should allow the Lions’ offense to get some traction early. CeeDee Lamb paced the Lions last season with 13 catches for 227 yards and a 97-yard touchdown. As long as the Lions keep him relatively at bay on Sunday, they should head into next week’s NFC North showdown with the Minnesota Vikings with three straight wins. The choice: Lions 31, Cowboys 20.

    Lions vs. Cowboys injury report

    The Lions have center Frank Ragnow and safety Brian Branch back in the lineup after missing Monday night’s game two weeks ago. Ragnow is three weeks back from a partial pectoral muscle tear and Branch is removed from the concussion protocol. Aside from recent players who went on IR like Marcus Davenport and Derrick Barnes, the Lions should be fully healthy.

    The Cowboys are struggling, especially on defense. Edge rushers Micah Parsons, DeMarcus Lawrence and rookie Marshawn Kneeland (Western Michigan) are out, as are cornerback DaRon Bland, linebacker Eric Kendricks and wide receiver Brandin Cooks.
