There are only five weeks left in the regular season. As Week 14 begins, the Dallas Cowboys will go on the road to face the Detroit Lions for "Thursday Night Football."

Both of these teams played on Thanksgiving. The Lions were upset by the Green Bay Packers, while the Cowboys held strong at home and beat the Kansas City Chiefs.

Dallas enters Week 14 with a 6-5-1 record. The Cowboys sit in second place in the NFC East and trail the Philadelphia Eagles by two games. If the playoffs started today, Dallas would be on the outside looking in. Only seven teams will make the NFC's playoff bracket, and the Cowboys are currently the No. 9 team in the NFC.

The Lions' loss to the Packers hurt their playoff standing. Detroit is now also outside the NFC's playoff picture. The Lions had a chance to head into Week 14 atop the NFC North, but instead they sit in third behind the Chicago Bears and the Green Bay Packers. Detroit has a 7-5 record, trailing the Bears by one game, putting a lot of importance on each of the Lions' remaining games.

The Sporting News is tracking LIVE updates as the Cowboys take on the Lions for Week 14's "Thursday Night Football."

8:43 p.m. -- After two penalties on Dallas on the punt return, the Cowboys started the drive from their own four-yard line. Javonte Williams had a two-yard run and then Prescott threw to Pickens for a gain of three. Detroit pressured Prescott and it looked like it was a safety.

The Cowboys punted, and Lions returned Tom Kennedy brought the good punt back into Dallas territory.

8:37 p.m. -- After Gibbs dominated the first Detroit drive, David Montgomery picked up two yards on the first play of the next drive. Goff had back-to-back incompletions to St. Brown, the Lions decided to punt.

Goff found Gibbs again, this time for a gain of 26. Facing third and eight in the redzone, James Houston sacked Goff to set up a field goal.
