Having gone through an injury-riddled 2024 season, he has enjoyed a resurgence as he’s shined as one of the best passers in the league this season.</p><p>However, Dallas has gone through inconsistencies on both sides of the ball. While the offense has significantly improved from last year, the defense has suffered multiple lapses that have cost them multiple games this season. The offense hasn’t been perfect either, occasionally struggling at points that prevented from adding more wins to the record.</p><p>Prescott <a href="https://x.com/jonmachota/status/1999287286874230812" rel="noopener">gave his thoughts on the team’s overall performance</a>, per reporter Jon Machota. He believed that patience is key as he wants to focus on the upcoming games and not dwell on past mistakes the team made throughout the year so far.</p><p>“You know, I could deep dive into this, and I won’t. But to tell you (the answer) is no, because as much as you hate it, I can call two or three games: Do we make the changes and do what we do in the bye week to even have the team that we have now? Probably not. So, everything happens for a reason. I know I say that all the time. I’m just thankful for where I’m at and the opportunity I have to get into the playoffs still, if there is one,” Prescott said.</p><h2><b>What lies ahead for Dak Prescott, Cowboys</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Dak-Prescott-offers-mature-perspective-on-missed-opportunities-2.jpg"><figcaption>Lon Horwedel-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>It’s clear that Dak Prescott believes in the Cowboys’ playoff hopes despite the difficulty that comes with it. As long as they are in the mix, he believes that anything can happen in Dallas’ favor.</p><p>Prescott is on pace for an All-Pro selection with his high-level performances this season. 13 games in, he has completed 334 passes for 3,637 yards and 26 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. He also added 44 rushes for 138 yards and two touchdowns on the ground.</p><p>Dallas has a 6-6-1 record on the season, holding the second spot in the NFC East Division standings. They are above the New York Giants and Washington Commanders while trailing the Philadelphia Eagles. In terms of the NFC standings, they sit at 10th place. They are above the Minnesota Vikings and Atlanta Falcons while trailing the Carolina Panthers and Detroit Lions.</p><p>The Cowboys will continue preparations for their upcoming matchup, being at home. They host the Vikings on Dec. 14 at 8:20 p.m. ET.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He also threw a two-point conversion and was involved in a fumble that Dallas recovered. Despite the strong performance, the Cowboys were unable to overcome a combination of turnovers, penalties, and a late-game officiating controversy.</p><p>In the closing moments of the fourth quarter, with Dallas trailing by 10, the Cowboys drove into the red zone, with an opportunity to shave the deficit to three. On a crucial pass attempt to tight end Jake Ferguson, contact appeared between Ferguson and Lions linebacker Alex Anzalone, and the officials threw a flag.</p><p>After a brief discussion, the crew <a href="https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/news/cowboys-pass-interference-call-vs-lions-jake-ferguson/9a4b29730c07dd8e599ef92b" rel="noopener">surprisingly called offensive pass interference</a> on Ferguson. The penalty pushed the Cowboys back, forcing the team to settle for a field goal on fourth down and putting the outcome squarely in the hands of the defense. Dallas’ defense couldn’t hold, giving up a touchdown, and ultimately lost 44-30.</p><p>Prescott expressed his bewilderment postgame.</p><p>“Do I get fined for talking about this?… I’m sorry, that was bad,” he said when asked about the call. “I got to look at the film, maybe I can see it from their vantage point. I know I talked to the ref after, he said [Ferguson] aggressively pulled through. I’ve never seen a call like that.”</p><p>Replay suggested Ferguson’s swim move, not the hit by Anzalone, drew the flag. Rules analyst and former NFL referee Terry McAulay weighed in, saying the swim move was legal and the penalty appeared to be a blown call. Not the deciding factor, but the call came at the moment the Cowboys needed momentum most.</p><p>Dallas star wide receiver <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/dallas-cowboys/cowboys-news-ceedee-lamb-down-concussion-lions-game">CeeDee Lamb left the game with a concussion in the third quarter</a> after totaling 121 yards on six catches, and that did not help their cause. In Lamb’s absence, Ryan Flournoy stepped up, recording a career-high 115 receiving yards, and George Pickens added 37 more.</p><p>Late in the fourth quarter, Prescott spread the ball among eight targets, connecting with Ferguson for a touchdown and two-point conversion, cutting the deficit to three. Out-gaining the Lions 417 yards to 408 and keeping possession for 31:23, the Cowboys still paid the price for missed red-zone chances.</p><p>Dallas limited Detroit Jahmyr Gibbs to 43 rushing yards, but could not stop him from scoring three touchdowns and adding 77 receiving yards. David Montgomery sprinted for another 60 rushing yards and a touchdown, helping the Lions rush for 109 yards total. Jared Goff was efficient, completing 73.5% of his passes for 309 yards and a passer rating of 111.0. Moreover, Jameson Williams and Amon-Ra St. Brown combined for 188 receiving yards.</p><p>The loss dropped the Cowboys to 6-6-1, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/dallas-cowboys/cowboys-lions-playoff-odds-after-detroits-high-scoring-week-14-win-on-tnf">slashing their playoff probability</a> from 23% to just 9%. Even if they win their final four regular-season games against the Minnesota Vikings, Los Angeles Chargers, Washington Commanders, and New York Giants, Dallas would still need the San Francisco 49ers, Philadelphia Eagles, and Lions to stumble to sneak into the postseason.</p><p>Next up, the Cowboys will host Minnesota in Week 15. A win is imperative, but the road to the playoffs is now extraordinarily narrow.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The head coach’s challenge for “another takeaway, another stop” materialized on the very first defensive snap of the second half.</p><p>Dak Prescott opened with the Cowboys’ trademark quick slant, a route that has torched defenses all season. However, Lions corner Amik Robertson anticipated it perfectly. Robertson got his left hand into the throwing lane, and deflected the ball upward. Linebacker Derrick Barnes snatched the floating pass and rumbled deep into Cowboys territory.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Coach manifested another one</p><p>Derrick Barnes | <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/ProBowlVote?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#ProBowlVote</a> <a href="https://t.co/OJYSrP1nXV">pic.twitter.com/OJYSrP1nXV</a></p><p>— Detroit Lions (@Lions) <a href="https://twitter.com/Lions/status/1996777782429245610?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 5, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p><a href="https://x.com/Lions/status/1996777782429245610" rel="noopener">Barnes came within yards of a pick-six</a>. The momentum-flipping turnover showcased Detroit’s meticulous film study. It also reinforced Campbell’s aggressive, opportunistic defensive identity. Barnes’ near touchdown has become a signature ‘manifested’ moment of the game.</p><p>The Lions continue to build on last year’s breakthrough with another strong 2025 campaign. They remain firmly in the NFC playoff hunt. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/detroit-lions/lions-news-jahmyr-gibbs-david-montgomery-duo-nfl-record">Powered by the record-setting backfield duo</a> of Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery, Detroit boasts one of the league’s most balanced offenses. Even with injuries thinning the receiving corps at times, Jared Goff has kept the air attack efficient behind one of the NFL’s premier offensive lines. Defensively, the Lions have leaned on timely takeaways. In this game right after halftime, none was bigger than Barnes’ interception against Dallas. It reinforced their status as a resilient contender capable of beating anyone.</p><p>For Campbell, 2025 has been a grind-heavy follow-up to Detroit’s 15-2 season. The team sat at 7-5 after Thanksgiving. The head coach has embraced more aggressive play-calling. He continues to earn praise for culture, preparation, and clutch motivation. That includes manifesting the turnover that made a major impact in Week 14.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Early in the first quarter of Thursday night’s matchup at Ford Field, Detroit Lions linebacker Jack Campbell shot through the line and flattened Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott in the end zone.</p><p>Officials on the field immediately signaled safety, and the scoreboard flipped to 5-3 in favor of Detroit as Ford Field lost its mind. Then, the replay stepped in.</p><p>After review, officials ruled that Prescott had the entire ball outside the goal line when Campbell first made contact, so they wiped the safety off the board and spotted the ball just outside the end zone. The Cowboys still had to punt from deep in their own territory, but a potential two points, and possession vanished for Detroit.</p><p>From there, the sequence got better for Lions fans. Bryan Anger’s punt set up Detroit at the Dallas 42, Tom Kennedy ripped off a 21-yard return, and the Lions marched 42 yards in six plays. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/detroit-lions/lions-news-amon-ra-st-brown-active-cowboys-tnf">Jared Goff hit Amon-Ra St. Brown</a> for 26, and Jahmyr Gibbs finished it with a 1-yard score to push the lead to 10-3. By the end of the first quarter, Detroit had outgained Dallas 93-41, with Goff 7-of-10 for 76 yards and Gibbs piling up 50 total yards. </p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Doesn’t matter.
