The team amassed four sacks and eleven quarterback hits, underscoring their aggressive approach and ability to disrupt the Cowboys' offensive plans. Alim McNeill stood out with two sacks and three quarterback hits, demonstrating his critical role in pressuring the opposition's passer.

Furthermore, the Lions' defense was not just about applying pressure; they also excelled in taking away possession. With three interceptions and two fumble recoveries, Detroit capitalized on every opportunity to swing momentum in their favor. Brian Branch was particularly instrumental, contributing two interceptions and forcing one fumble, highlighting his knack for being at the right place at the right time.

His connection with receivers like Jameson Williams —who recorded 76 receiving yards and one touchdown—was crucial for stretching the field and exploiting gaps in Dallas's secondary.

The rushing attack added another dimension to Detroit's offense as David Montgomery rushed for 80 yards on twelve attempts scoring two touchdowns. This balanced offensive onslaught ensured that Dallas's defense remained on its heels throughout much of the contest.
