The Detroit Lions came out of the bye week with a vengeance in their 47-9 road win against the Dallas Cowboys. They showed up to Jerry Jones’ birthday party, blew out his candles, ate his cake, and took all his presents. It was the worst home loss for the Cowboys since Jones took over as owner. With the emphatic victory, the Lions vanquished all demons of the Week 17 2023 “reported eligible” loss.
There were more worthy candidates for game ball and unsung hero than any game this season, so I got a little generous by handing out two well-deserved game balls in the bittersweet victory.
