In case there was any doubt, the Detroit Lions do not like the Dallas Cowboys. In fact, after ruining Jerry Jones’ birthday in a 47-9 laugher on Sunday, I’d go as far as to say that Dan Campbell’s team actually hates the Cowboys.
I know this because the Lions were still running up the score in every possible way, even after they were up by four touchdowns.
The most egregious example came at the end of the third quarter, with the Lions leading 37-9 while in the red zone. Rather than run a straight-up play, Detroit elected to dig into its bag of tricks. It did so by running a hook and ladder for All-Pro OFFENSIVE LINEMAN Penei Sewell.
While the play would come back because of an ineligible man downfield on Detroit’s Frank Ragnow, the levels of disrespect here are simply unmatched:

Take notice, Cowboys fans. This is where your team is. A Super Bowl contender is basically laughing at your squad when it runs plays like this, and I don’t hate it at all.
