The Detroit Lions and the Dallas Cowboys remain contenders in the race to secure a coveted NFL playoff spot. Today’s matchup is pivotal, as a victory for either team could significantly improve their prospects for advancing to the next phase. Anticipation is high, especially with the potential appearance of Amon-Ra St. Brown, whose performance has been a key component of Detroit’s offense this season.
Amon-Ra St. Brown’s participation in today’s game was uncertain due to his injury. Fortunately, the Lions listed the star wide receiver as active for the game against the Cowboys in Week 14.
St. Brown has stood out as a mainstay in the Lions’ offensive unit throughout the season. His impressive stats include 9 touchdowns, 45 first downs, and 884 rushing yards, underlining his significance to the team as they push for playoff qualification.
The Lions are gearing up for a vital clash against the Cowboys, striving to improve their position in the NFC standings. Currently, they trail the San Francisco 49ers by just one spot; with the 49ers at 9-4 and the Lions at 7-5, the Lions have a 42% probability of making the playoffs, making today’s game even more critical.
Lions’ full injury report
In addition to St. Brown’s past uncertain status, the Lions had four other players confirmed out, with several others listed as questionable for the game against the Cowboys at Ford Field.
