The difference between the Cowboys and Lions last season was a bizarre refereeing error. On a fraught and fractious night, the Cowboys emerged victorious, leaving the Lions furious.
And with the Lions returning from the bye week and the Cowboys riding high following last Sunday's last-gasp win, this clash has all the makings of another fierce encounter.
The Lions will want to take another big victory away from home but it won't be easy; Cowboys star defender Micah Parsons and new signing Eric Kendricks might be out but Dallas have a game-winner in Dak Prescott.
The Lions are the bookies favorites but the Cowboys always play with extra motivation at home. So read on for how to watch Cowboys vs Lions, along with all of this season's football, with our 2024/25 NFL live streams guide.
