Cowboys receiver CeeDee Lamb was not with the team from the end of last season until just before the start of this season. It explains why he and Dak Prescott haven’t gotten on the same page yet this season.

After another miscommunication between the two late in the first half of Sunday, Cowboys fans loudly voiced their displeasure.

On a day when it took the Cowboys’ offense to beat the Lions, with their defense depleted by injuries, they failed to reach the end zone. Detroit outscored Dallas 262 to 111 in the first half, as the Lions scored on all five possessions save for a one-play kneecap to end the half.

The Lions lead 27-6 at halftime, with touchdown drives of 70, 63 and 38 yards and field goal drives of 58 and 39, and they get the kickoff for the second half.

Jared Goff is 11 of 16 for 178 yards and a touchdown, which came on a 52-yard throw to Sam LaPorta on a trick play. David Montgomery has two touchdowns, 58 yards on nine carries.

Tim Patrick has three catches for 68 yards.

The Cowboys went 0-for-2 in the red zone, with a 34-yard field goal and a Brian Branch interception of Prescott in the end zone. The Cowboys went 1-for-8 on third and fourth in the first half.

Dallas scored eight seconds into the half on a trick play on a kickoff return. KaVontae Turpin feigned a handoff to C.J. Goodwin for a 79-yard return before kicker Jake Bates pushed Turpin out at the Detroit 30. The Cowboys gained 1 yard on the drive before Aubrey kicked a 47-yard field goal.

Prescott is 11 of 20 for 115 yards and an interception, with Lamb catching four for 46. The Cowboys have 14 rushing yards on eight carries.

The Lions have lost defensive lineman Kyle Peko, who was ruled out with a pectoral injury.
