Matthew Judon: ‘I’m taking us over anybody,’ Patriots front doesn’t care about matchup

FOXBOROUGH — The Lions brought the NFL’s highest scoring offense into Gillette Stadium.

They limped back to Detroit with their lowest rushing total of the season and a goose egg on the scoreboard in a 29-0 drubbing against the Patriots. New England’s front seven flat-out dominated Detroit’s offensive line. Matthew Judon hit Jared Goff four times — sacking him twice — and the Lions averaged 3.7 yards per carry; they couldn’t get anything going.

Afterwards, Judon was high on his defense.

“They do have a good line, but I’m taking whoever we line up and put their hand in the dirt over anybody,” Judon said, rattling the names of seven teammates off.
