You don’t usually get to see too many lopsided game in the NFL. Even if a team is considered the worst in the entire league, it’s still the NFL, and all of these players are really good, so there are always upsets and close games, even when a game looks like a sure bet on paper. The Detroit Lions took on the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday, October 13, in Texas, and local fans at the game were in for quite a show. Unfortunately, for Cowboys fans, it wasn’t a good show. The Lions creamed them, 47-9. It wasn’t quite as big as a recent college football upset, but it was still very big.

While the Lions won big, they also lost their star defensive end Aidan Hutchinson due to a major injury: a broken tibia. Here’s what NFL analysts, experts and others are saying about both the Lions win and Hutchinson’s unfortunate injury.

‘The Detroit Lions Do Not Like the Dallas Cowboys’

“In case there was any doubt, the Detroit Lions do not like the Dallas Cowboys. In fact, after ruining Jerry Jones’ birthday in a 47-9 laugher on Sunday, I’d go as far as to say that Dan Campbell’s team actually hates the Cowboys,” noted USA Today’s For the Win.

Writer Robert Zeglinski added, “I know this because the Lions were still running up the score in every possible way, even after they were up by four touchdowns.”

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones was in the house at the game, and he was celebrating his 82nd birthday. When asked about the grave loss, Jones said his team’s performance was “very concerning” and “very humbling.”

“This was a shocker,” said Jones, per Jon Machota of The Athletic.

Karl Rasmussen of Sports Illustrated added, “Dallas has struggled massively at home, losing its first three games at AT&T stadium. Sunday’s blowout against the Lions was tied for the fifth-largest margin of defeat in franchise history, and the team’s worst loss since 2010.”

‘Hate It for Hutch’

Following the Hutchinson injury, Lions head coach Dan Campbell, of course, expressed sadness and concern for his player and friend.

“Hate it for Hutch. That’s tough. It was tough,” Campbell said per ESPN. “He’s in good hands right now. He’s being taken care of. He’ll stay back here, and obviously he’s going to be down for a little while. So, that’s tough and it’s hard when you lose somebody like him, but we’ll know a lot more after this and obviously wish him the best.”

Charean Williams of NBC Sports’ Pro Football Network added, “Hutchinson, the betting favorite for defensive player of the year, had a gruesome injury of his left leg with 11:43 remaining in the third quarter. He immediately knew the severity after a 6-yard sack of Dak Prescott.”

Williams added, “Medical personnel worked on Hutchinson for a long time, finally putting his left leg in an air cast before loading him onto a cart. The cart went immediately to the tunnel where the ambulance is, rather than toward the X-ray room, and headed to a local trauma hospital.”

For Lions fans, it’s too bad that Hutchinson’s injury put a damper on what would have otherwise been a very celebratory day.
