I'm enjoying this, but also thinking about potential match-ups if they win

Their DL would be a major major issue. Teryl Austin's blitzing schemes with LB's and safeties would be pure chaos as well.

Lots of screens and play action would be the only way to keep them honest. We would absolutely not be able to run on them in any kind of standard run formations.

Megatron getting constantly doubled but looks relatively healthy(?). Tate in playoff mode.

Nothing from their TE's.

Pass protection pretty solid overall and Stafford has really improved pocket mobility.

Bell having moderate success between tackles and Bush on the edges. They throw screens to both.

Secondary man coverage is their greatest weakness along with LB coverage on Witten.

Wilson designed runs would be the X factor. They're able to pin their ears back against Romo without fear of him leaving the pocket.

Cowboys having best success throwing on 1st down.

Should be an interesting 2nd half, expect Cowboys to throw a lot and maybe play some tempo.

Only 10 points separating the Lions from the Cowboys. Lots of time left for things to change. I do like the way the game is going so far.

Huge tipped ball for an INT to start the 2H, but Lions D holds them to a FG attempt after Dallas calls for a throw on 3rd and short.. and Romo takes a big sack. Then missed FG.

Wow. Talk about a huge momentum swing that could've happened but didn't.

The Packers just ran for 150+ yards on them only a week ago. So who says the Seahawks wouldn't be able to do the same?

Yep, and Murray has 68 yards on 15 carries (65 in his last 12), so they can be run on.

I won't be upset if the Cowboys pull this off, at least it'd force a Cowboys/Packers game with the Cowboys being 8-0 on the road.

The best angle about a Lions win would mean they'd be playing on the road for the 4th straight week.

Looks like the Seahawks are playing the Panthers next week.

Well that game was ruined by the refs. But from what the Cowboys showed they're going to get their asses handed to them in GB.
