Allen Park — If you've been following Detroit Lions news on social media this week, you almost certainly saw the overwhelmingly positive reaction from fans to Penei Sewell mixing it up with Los Angeles Rams superstar defensive lineman Aaron Donald after a play last Sunday.
On the play, Sewell locked his grip onto the chest of Donald and wouldn't let go, even after the whistle. It was an impressively dominant rep for the rookie, against the league's most dominant defender, and Donald took exception to it.
Some words were exchanged, a few small shoves, but the biggest takeaway from the moment is Detroit's 21-year-old offensive tackle isn't going to be pushed around by anyone, even one of the league's most-feared players.
