It will be just over six years since the last time the Dallas Cowboys flew north to face the Detroit Lions. The last three meetings have occurred in Texas.

It will be interesting to see if Jadeveon Clowney and the Cowboys are able to get a deal done before the day is over with. Clowney was the number one overall pick in the 2014 NFL Draft by the Houston Texans.

The passing numbers aren’t gaudy at first glance but this was a low possession game due to very long drives by both teams. The Eagles and Cowboys each had just five drives by the end of the third quarter. For context, the Eagles and Green Bay Packers each had nine drives by the end of the third quarter in Week 1 last year.

The Cowboys' middling passing rushing stats from Week 1 could explain why the team is hosting former first-rounder Jadeveon Clowney for a mid-week visit. Clowney is reportedly working out for Dallas as a looks for a new home.

The majority of NFL teams are returning to action this weekend, kicking off the 2025 regular season. Will the Cowboys be among them?
