Chris Christie bashes Lions' Dan Campbell for running up score on Cowboys: 'no class'

Former Republican New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie lashed out against Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell Thursday for running up the score against his favorite football team, the Dallas Cowboys, in a 47-9 blowout last Sunday.

"That's Dan Campbell. He's got no class, never has," Christie said Thursday on the "Mad Dog Unleashed" radio show with Chris Russo. "So, it's fine. Look, Dan Campbell, that's the way he is, and what goes around comes around."

The Lions got their lopsided win against the Cowboys fairly easily, dominating in all phases. Even so, Campbell turned to his play-calling bag of tricks to add some flash to the win.

The Lions ran three trick plays against the Cowboys, including a hook and lateral to offensive tackle Penei Sewell with a 37-9 lead. Campbell told players before the game he planned to "unload the clip" after losing to the Cowboys in a controversial game in the final month last season. 

The Cowboys beat the Lions, 20-19, in Week 17 of the 2023 season after officials made a mistake in administering a two-point conversion at the end of the game. The Lions converted the pass, but Taylor Decker was penalized for illegal touching after officials incorrectly announced Dan Skipper as the eligible receiver.
