The Detroit Lions put the rest of the NFL on notice Sunday with their 47-9 victory over the Dallas Cowboys on the road and made their claim as one of the league’s best teams.

The Lions came out firing on all cylinders, scoring on each drive before they took a knee to go into the locker room at halftime. One of those scores included a nifty flea-flicker from Jared Goff to Sam LaPorta for a 52-yard touchdown pass. It was a part of a 20-point second quarter to get some comfort room over Dallas.

Detroit still had its pedal to the metal out of halftime. Goff led the Lions on a five-play, 70-yard touchdown drive that ended with a Goff touchdown pass to wide receiver Jameson Williams, a 37-yard throw and catch.

The Lions piled on from there and won the game 47-9. The defense sacked quarterback Dak Prescott four times and made him throw two interceptions.

Detroit came into its Week 6 matchup off a bye week and two weeks removed from a game in which Goff was perfect. He was nearly perfect against Dallas, going 18 of 25 with 315 passing yards and three touchdown passes. Amon Ra-St. Brown caught one more in the fourth quarter.
