The Detroit Lions love playing AFC South teams.
On Sunday, the NFC North leaders were bludgeoning the Jacksonville Jaguars. 42-6. early in the third quarter.
The Jaguars got Cam Little field goals to open and close the first half.
The problem for Doug Pederson’s struggling squad is the Lions sandwiched 28 points between those kicks.
It didn’t get better after halftime as Jameson Williams caught a 64-yard touchdown pass from Jared Goff.
Lions aren’t slowing down! JAMO TD 🦁

The first seven TD receptions of @Lions WR Jameson Williams’ career have all been on catches of 30+ yards.
The last @NFL player whose first seven-career receiving TDs were on 30+ yard plays was JJ Birden (1990-1992).#OnePride pic.twitter.com/usnFJLEENM

This was trending toward the third win over AFC South teams for the Lions. They beat the Texans by three points and the Titans by 38.
This game won’t do anything for the job security of Jaguars coach Doug Pederson and executives in the front office.
