The Detroit Lions kept their NFL playoff hopes alive with a 44-30 win over the Dallas Cowboys.
Jahmyr Gibbs ran in three touchdowns for the Lions, while quarterback Jared Goff completed 25 of 34 passes for 309 yards and one touchdown.
Detroit, which has lost three of its previous six games, improves its record to 8-5 and sits in third place in the NFC North. They still need a string of wins to enter the postseason, but they are well positioned to challenge in the final weeks of the regular season.
“They are as good a team as there is in this league,” Goff said.
“We felt like we were back to who we were. Maybe we can be that again now.”
The Cowboys had won three straight but their sixth loss of the season left their season in trouble.
Gibbs raised his career touchdowns to 47 — and moved with Barry Sanders for the most by players in NFL history before their 24th birthday.
“The work was there all week. It always is but with the intensity and the urgency…guys don’t panic. They just go to work, and they did it again,” Lions coach Dan Campbell said.
