00:00Lions and Cowboys. Is it true Dallas is beating them six straight?

00:08Well here's the thing about that. Here's the thing about the Cowboys. They may own them.

00:13But let's take a look at who's the better football team right now. I give Dallas credit.

00:16Your Steelers should have won that game. They blew it Sunday night and that didn't that

00:20delay in Pittsburgh. They absolutely should have won that game. Here's the problem with

00:24Dallas right now. Here's the problem with Dallas right. Both starting ends are out.

00:27Their third end, Marshawn Nealon is out for at least a month. Could be longer than that.

00:31He'll be out till sometime in November. Where's their pass rush? Their secondary is bagged

00:36up a corner. The Lions actually come up there by really healthy. The one injury now, this

00:40just happened today. Kirby Joseph, one of their starting safeties, got a hamstring

00:44injury. We got to keep an eye on that. But overall Scott, the Lions are the healthy team.

00:49They're coming out of the bye. They're clearly the better football team. Hey, I give Dallas

00:53credit for finding some way all beat up to win in Pittsburgh. But that's another story

00:57for another time of what's going on with Pittsburgh. But Dallas right now, there's a reason why

01:02the Lions are three. And by the way, the total is 52. This should be a very high scoring

01:07game in Big D. But they have serious pass rush problems with injuries, the Cowboys.

01:13They do. And look, we should mention, right, we should when I mentioned Nealon, you got

01:17Micah Parsons week to week with a high angle spring, right? It's hard to stick your that

01:22bad ankle in the dirt and be able to get off. That's a problem. And DeMarcus Tank Lawrence

01:26has got a severe midfoot sprain. He's going to be out a while. I just I give Dallas credit.

01:31I don't know how the heck they won that game against Pittsburgh. But the bottom line is

01:35against Detroit, he's got one of the top three offensive lines. It's not going to happen

01:38for him. It ain't gonna happen.
