Okay, so, I’ve been digging into this whole Detroit Lions versus Dallas Cowboys thing. You know, their head-to-head stats and all that. It started out as a simple curiosity, but man, did it turn into a rabbit hole!
First off, I grabbed my laptop and started hitting up the usual spots for sports stats. I wanted the whole picture – regular season, playoffs, the works. I figured, why not go all in, right?
The initial thing I did was pull up the overall record between these two teams. Turns out, they’ve clashed 32 times! Can you believe that? And that includes 3 postseason games. Pretty intense rivalry, it seems. That info got me searching for their historical stats. And I found that on October 13th, there was a match where the result was Detroit Lions 47 at Dallas Cowboys 9.
Next, I got into comparing the teams side-by-side. Win-loss percentages, championships – you name it, I was looking at it. It’s pretty fascinating to see how these two have stacked up against each other over the years. I gotta say, it’s a lot more balanced than I expected. I was really surprised by that result, especially when I also found out that oddsmakers were favoring the Lions for their game on October 13, 2024. Who would’ve thought?
Then, because I’m a bit of a data nerd, I began to collect individual player stats. I started noting down everything – scoring, passing, rushing yards, defensive plays. It was a bit tedious, but hey, it’s all in the name of getting the full story. I even made myself a little spreadsheet to keep track of it all, I mean, when I started to be curious about the Lions’ fan signs, I couldn’t help but gather some info on that, too. So, apparently, at Lions’ home games, there are sections called “3rd Down Town” where fans hold up ‘3’ signs. They go wild whenever the opposing team has a 3rd down. Pretty cool tradition, right?
I also found the final score of a recent game, Lions 47, Cowboys 9. It wasn’t the worst home loss for the Cowboys, but it was close. The Lions had 492 yards of offense, and the Cowboys had five turnovers. Also found that the Lions are one of the least successful franchises, but they have won four NFL championships before 1957.
After that, I got curious about what the oddsmakers were saying for the upcoming matches, including the one on October 13, 2024. The Lions were the favorites, which I found pretty interesting given some of their historical stats.
