GAME. BLOUSES.
Another day, another win for the Dallas Cowboys. This time, the victims were the Detroit Lions, who came into Dallas simply seeking a win to clinch a spot in the playoffs. Well, the Lions got steamrolled, 42-21, by the Cowboys, who weren’t playing for anything other than to keep the good times rolling.
Things were going so well for the Cowboys that in addition to receiver Dez Bryant catching two touchdown passes, he also threw and completed his only NFL pass for a touchdown to tight end Jason Witten.
When I say things were going well for Dallas, it rubbed off on punter Chris Jones, who delivered a crushing hit on a Detroit return man.
