The Detroit Lions proved again on Sunday that if they have an opportunity to run up the score, they'll do it.
The Lions dominated the Jacksonville Jaguars with a crushing 52-6 victory in their Week 11 matchup. This marks the second time in four weeks that Detroit has surpassed the 50-point mark, adding yet another lopsided win to their increasingly impressive 9-1 resume.
The Lions have a point differential of plus-159. No other team is in triple-digits. After beating down the Jaguars, Lions safety Kerby Joesph had a message for the rest of the league.
"We are just playing football," said Joseph, who notched three tackles and an interception in the win. "If you are not coming ready to win, then you are going to get your (expletive) whooped."
The Lions got production from all over the roster in the win. Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams both went over 100 yards receiving. Detroit piled up 196 rushing yards as a team and quarterback Jared Goff threw four touchdowns.
The Lions racked up 645 yards of total offense and outgained the lowly Jaguars by 475 yards. It's the most significant yardage differential in an NFL game since 1979.
Lions head coach Dan Campbell believes his squad can be one of the top offenses in NFL history.
“I think we have that ability," Campbell said after the game. "I think we have everything we need to be potent."
The Lions will look to keep things rolling next week against the Indianapolis Colts.
