Defense runs out of gas and Cowboys run out of tricks in latest comeback attempt

Story byDavid HowmanFri, December 5, 2025 at 5:30 AM UTC·4 min readThe Cowboys do it every year, but it doesn’t make it any easier. Playing three games in 12 days is difficult regardless of who you face, and even more so when you’re facing three of the most lethal offenses in the league. That’s what Thursday night in Detroit felt like: a Cowboys team that simply ran out of gas. The defense, especially, looked to be lacking any of the magic they’d displayed in their previous three games.

Key Highlights

  • They forced a punt at the 8:28 minute mark in the second quarter, and Lions punter Jack Fox took the rest of the night off as the Lions prevailed 44-30. AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementThis game unfolded the way many Cowboys games have lately, at least early on.
  • Slow starts on both sides of the ball led to an early hole for Dallas.
  • Three promising drives in the first half ended in a field goal, and then another ended early thanks to a Jake Ferguson fumble.
  • Between that and a Lions offense that’s seen a resurgence in production since head coach Dan Campbell took over play-calling, the Cowboys found themselves trailing 20-9 at halftime. Of course, the Cowboys don’t flinch anymore in these situations.
  • They’ve overcome worse, after all.
