Christian Booher: The loss of Brian Branch is a brutal one for Detroit’s defense. Because of the timing and severity of the injury, there’s a chance he misses time next year and that would be a big loss for the Lions. Branch is one of the most versatile defenders in the league at his best, and will not be easily replaced.

The Detroit Lions are right back in the thick of things in the NFC playoff picture, and the Dallas Cowboys are hanging on by a thread. Jahmyr Gibbs scored three touchdowns, Jared Goff threw for 309 yards and a touchdown, and the Detroit defense forced three turnovers in a crucial 44-30 win.

NFL fans aren't very happy with Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown at the moment. A week ago, St. Brown suffered an ankle injury against the Green Bay Packers. Most fans assumed that would sideline him for "Thursday Night Football" against the Dallas Cowboys.

Additionally, linebacker Jack Campbell continued his career-best season. In the first half alone, he recorded a sack (and near safety) of Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott, and forced Dallas tight end Jake Ferguson to cough up the football, leading to a Lions touchdown.
