The Lions So Far in 2018
Beating the mighty Patriots does say a lot.
Detroit was in control from the start, creating holes for rookie running back Kerryon Johnson and giving Matthew Stafford time to pass.
Johnson had 101 yards rushing on 16 carries, becoming the first player to reach the mark for the Lions since Reggie Bush ran for 117 yards against Green Bay on Nov. 28, 2013. Detroit's 70-game stretch without a 100-yard rusher was the longest since the NFL-AFL merger.

The Lions vs. Cowboys Trends and Predictions
The Cowboys have the number 3 defense in the league, so this should give Detroit problems coming off the high of beating New England.
Cowboys Head coach Jason Garrett says that offensively, the Lions' "very balanced attack" will be an especially tough challenge for the NFL's third-ranked defense.
Since 2013, the home team has won all three meetings. Dallas won by double digits in 2016, by four the year previously and Detroit won by a single digit before that.
The UNDER is 5-0 in Cowboys last 5 games after accumulating less than 150 yards passing in their previous game.
The betting public is correct when moving the total in DALLAS games 72.4% of the time over the past 3 seasons. (21-8), giving the UNDER 44 an edge here.
