The Cowboys arrived for Week 14’s Thursday Night Football riding a three-game winning streak and still hoping to reach the playoffs; ESPN’s FPI gave Dallas a 17.8% chance of making the postseason before kickoff. The Lions, meanwhile, hadn’t recorded consecutive wins since beating the Browns in Week 4 and the Bengals in Week 5, and their pregame FPI playoff probability stood at 42.9%.
Reporters Todd Archer (Cowboys) and Eric Woodyard (Lions) are on site for tonight’s game and will post highlights and updates throughout the evening in this live file.
