The Cowboys are coming off a 31-28 win over Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs on Thanksgiving Day.
That marked the third straight win for Dallas after the bye week, so there is some momentum.
Going into the game, there is some hope that star cornerback Trevon Diggs can return after being sidelined since the middle of October with a concussion and a knee issue.
On the other hand, there are now worries about pass rusher Jadeveon Clowney .

"Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer said DE Jadeveon Clowney (hamstring) won't practice today. He'll be working off to the side on the resistance cords. How he warms up before the game Thursday will determine if he plays or not," Machota wrote.
On Monday, Tyler Guyton and Clowney were both listed as DNP.
Clowney was the No. 1 overall pick by the Houston Texans in the 2014 NFL Draft after an outstanding career at South Carolina.
He has also spent time with the Seattle Seahawks , Cleveland Browns , Baltimore Ravens and Carolina Panthers .

Clowney was released by the Panthers in May but signed a one-year deal with the Cowboys ahead of Week 3. In nine games, he has 15 solo tackles with four sacks and he has been a steady force for the defense.
The Cowboys and Lions kick off on Thursday at 8:15 pm ET with the game on Amazon Prime Video.
