Hours before kickoff, NFL Network’s Jane Slater asked Prescott what he remembered from his last game in Detroit.

“That we lit them up,” Prescott said with a smile. “Lot of passing yards. About to do it again.”

The last time the Cowboys played at Ford Field was in November 2019, when Prescott threw for 444 yards and three touchdowns, leading them to a thrilling 35‑27 victory.

Six years later, Prescott has the Cowboys at 6-5-1, riding a three-game winning streak that includes a massive Thanksgiving win over Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs, the most-watched regular season game in NFL history.

Can they keep it rolling against a desperate Detroit team themsevles?

Prescott thinks so.
