How to watch Cowboys vs. Lions in Week 6 with and without cable

It might be exaggeratory to call a Week 5 win a season-saver, but all it takes is a quick glance at the Dallas Cowboys' upcoming schedule to realize it might be true. It all starts Sunday afternoon at AT&T Stadium against the Detroit Lions, who have become one of Dallas' biggest non-division rivals.

Cowboys fans might remember the controversial ending to last season's meeting between these teams.

Late in the fourth quarter, Lions offensive lineman Taylor Decker was flagged for illegal touching for not reporting as eligible on what would have been the go-ahead two-point conversion. It was a bogus call and it blew up into a national story.

Rather than kick an extra-point to tie the game, Detroit went for two again. The Cowboys stopped it and hung on for a 20-19 win. It was a lucky escape for Dallas, but the loss is still fresh in the Lions' memory. Sunday's rematch should contain plenty of built-up tension.

Beyond that, this is a meeting of two NFC teams who are both fighting to keep pace with their respective division leader. It's an intriguing matchup and here is everything you need to know to catch the action.
