NFL Week 6 Preview: Schedule, storylines and matchups to watch (Detroit Lions (-3.5) vs. Dallas Cowboys - Storyline of the game: Can Dallas hold off a rested Detroit out for revenge?  Without question, the Lions have maintained their status as contenders out of the NFC and hold a top spot among the league’s best in the PFF power rankings. Jared Goff is coming off of his best performance in a long time, having tossed a perfect 18-for-18 game with 292 yards through the air and a pair of big-time throws as well as a receiving touchdown. If all things are clicking for this team, it becomes one of the most difficult to take down in the league.  Although the Lions are fresh off a bye, Dallas has momentum coming into this one after taking down Pittsburgh with a last-second touchdown to win on the road in primetime. The Cowboys just barely escaped this exact matchup with a win in 2023 after a potential game-winning two-point conversion was waved off, as officials deemed Taylor Decker did not report as eligible. Dallas will have to prove it can beat Detroit again this time around, and without controversy at that.  Matchups to watch: Cowboys RB Rico Dowdle vs. Lions LB Jack Campbell.  With a season-high 22 touches this past week, it’s clear that Dowdle has firmly secured the duties as the Cowboys’ lead back. Now, attention turns to what he will do with the opportunity. In Week 5, Dowdle amassed over 100 yards from scrimmage for the first time this season, coming away with a respectable 67.3 overall grade on the day. Taking a step further forward this week will go a long way to answering this team’s issues in the backfield. The Lions’ hard-nosed second-year linebacker has had some issues with consistency fitting the run this season. After his 80.5 run defense grade in Week 1, Campbell hasn’t been able to reach near that mark. In Week 4, he generated just a 52.9 run defense grade, having seen an equal number of positive and negative grades.    Additional news:  Cowboys CB DaRon Bland (foot) designated to return, could be activated Sunday.):  https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-week-6-preview-schedule-storylines-and-matchups-to-watch

NFL QB Index, Week 6: Joe Burrow No. 2; Jayden Daniels knocking on door of top five (11.  Jared Goff (2024 stats: 4 games | 71.0 pct | 1,015 pass yds | 8.2 ypa | 5 pass TD | 4 INT | 16 rush yds | 0 rush TD | 0 fumbles):  Goff picked a great time to post a perfect game, entering the bye on the heels of an 18-for-18 showing that gave the Lions a boost heading into their week off. We know what needs to be true for him to succeed: Detroit must have a threatening run game, protect him and allow him to cook, which he did in Week 4. It hasn't been the smoothest ride for Goff so far this season, but because the most recent results tend to matter the most, Goff is likely feeling good going into their Week 6 meeting with Dallas.):  https://www.nfl.com/news/nfl-qb-index-week-6-joe-burrow-no-2-jayden-daniels-knocking-on-door-of-top-five
