5 winners and 4 losers from the Lions win over the Cowboys, one of Detroit’s biggest superstars had a really bad night

Sorry Cade Cunningham, hopefully that's the only loss you take in the next few days

In a game that nobody thought they would win, the Lions looked like the Lions we're used to and got a gigantic win
December 5, 2025 at 4:38 AM
D.J. Reed picks him off, and that'sthe game
December 5, 2025 at 4:36 AM
Another AQM sack
December 5, 2025 at 4:34 AM
They're giving the Cowboys the first down
December 5, 2025 at 4:32 AM
Jared Goff has 300 yards in this game. That gives him 45 300-yard games and ties him with Matt Ryan for second all-time for quarterbacks in their first 10 years. The only guy ahead of him is Patrick Mahomes with 50.

Touchdown Gibbs. He just tied Barry Sanders' record for the most touchdowns for a player under the age of 24. the 40 burger is here

Brian Branch is questionable to return with an ankle injury
December 5, 2025 at 4:23 AM
Huge play by St. Brown. This guy wasn't even supposed to be here
December 5, 2025 at 4:23 AM
Ok, Tom Kennedy is the return man now
December 5, 2025 at 4:21 AM
The cart is coming out for Branch. He's going right to the locker room
December 5, 2025 at 4:18 AM
Aubrey's kick is good. Lions have a chance to ice this one on this drive. Gotta do it.
December 5, 2025 at 4:18 AM
Branch is being helped off the field gingerly
December 5, 2025 at 4:17 AM
I'm pretty surprised the Cowboys aren't going for it here.
December 5, 2025 at 4:16 AM
Brian Branch is down
December 5, 2025 at 4:15 AM
Solid cornerback blitz there, and it forces another third down
December 5, 2025 at 4:13 AM
Big third down here
December 5, 2025 at 4:12 AM
Cowboys are going no-huddle
December 5, 2025 at 4:11 AM
Reader with a sack to start the drive
December 5, 2025 at 4:09 AM
Vaki jogs off the field
December 5, 2025 at 4:07 AM
Sione Vaki is down
December 5, 2025 at 4:06 AM
Lions answered big right when they needed to. Now the defense has to do its thing
