It is not very often that Lions fans experience a beatdown where they are not on the receiving end, but that is exactly what the Detroit Lions did. They put together a near-perfect performance from every facet of the game as they dismantled the Jacksonville Jaguars, 40-14, to keep their playoff hopes alive.
The offense was cooking, with Jared Goff slinging the rock proving strong outings from Amon-Ra St. Brown and DJ Chark, with Swift looking like his former dominant self. Michael Badgley was perfect in field goals today, giving the Lions some form of stabilization on that end of the field. The defense had many solid players today, from DeShon Elliott creating turnovers to James Houston doing nothing but sacking quarterbacks left and right.
