Cowboys quarterback\u00a0Dak Prescott\u00a0and the team had a rough 1-2 start to the season, but the past few weeks, they\u2019ve fought to snag two consecutive wins over the\u00a0New York Giants\u00a0and the\u00a0Pittsburgh Steelers. Meanwhile, the Lions are 3-1 going into the game, only having lost to the\u00a0Tampa Bay Buccaneers.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-3\"><\/div>\n<p>This particular matchup between the Lions and Cowboys is extra dramatic, because the last time the team played, there was a controversial end to the game. The controversy was about whether or not Lions left tackle\u00a0Taylor Decker\u00a0properly reported to the official as eligible\u00a0to receive a pass on the two-point conversion try with 23 seconds left on the clock. Decker caught the pass in the end zone, but officials called it as illegal touching on the play, so no points.<\/p>\n<p>Prescott remembers that moment, and he says that he\u2019s ready to go up against that Lions \u201cpersonality\u201d on Sunday.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Dak Prescott: \u2018We\u2019re Going to Get This Win\u2019<\/h2>\n<p>Speaking to reporters on Thursday, October 10, Prescott expressed confidence ahead of taking on Detroit.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re going on a bye week next. So, we\u2019re going to get this win and then go enjoy the bye,\u201d\u00a0he said. \u201cThen, we\u2019ll figure it after that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Then, Prescott referred to the controversial call at the end of last season\u2019s game.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere was a flag missed before that on our side that was called the wrong way,\u201d\u00a0he said. \u201cI expect them to come out with same personality of the same team that they\u2019ve been. It\u2019s a defense that we\u2019re familiar with because we had played them in the last few seasons.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>\u2018It\u2019s a Grudge Match\u2019<\/h2>\n<p>Everyone seems to be getting in on the Lions vs. Cowboys rematch, including the official writers for the Cowboys. In an October 11 feature about the game, Cowboys staff writer Patrik Walker\u00a0called the game\u00a0a \u201cgrudge match of the highest order, especially from the vantage point of a Lions\u2019 team that felt wronged by the officiating crew the last time they were in Arlington en route to a one-point loss.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a reloaded team in Detroit that unofficially views this battle as a grudge match, the history of the series also taken into consideration (hi,\u00a0Anthony Hitchens), and\u00a0Jared Goff\u00a0has a stable of horses the undermanned Cowboys\u2019 offense must contain,\u201d he added. \u201cThe likely return of\u00a0DaRon Bland helps slow them down, but stop them? Tall order. I look more so to Dak Prescott and the offense to finally get going in a must-win HOME game against a questionable Lions\u2019 secondary in what becomes a bit of a shootout; and the Lions leave with another heartbreak.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Walker predicts the Cowboys will take it, 30 to 27.<\/p>\n<p>Cowboys staff writer Tommy Yarrish also weighed in,\u00a0writing, \u201cThe Cowboys have won six straight against the Lions dating back to 2015, but I feel like the 2024 version of Detroit is the best Dallas will have faced from the bunch.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tarrish has the Lions winning, 27 to 24.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GettyThe Detroit Lions vs. Dallas Cowboys game had a controversial end last season, and Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is speaking out on it.
