The Dallas Cowboys return to the friendly confines of home on Saturday to face the fellow playoff-bound Detroit Lions.
The locale is good news for the Cowboys, who are 7-0 this season at AT&T Stadium. Their struggles on the road against quality opponents continued last week in a loss to the Miami Dolphins. That dropped them to 3-5 on the road including an 0-3 road record against teams that have clinched or are projected to clinch a playoff berth.
That's bad news for a Cowboys team that needs a lot to break its way to pass the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC East and avoid road games in the first round of the playoffs and beyond.
