In one of the most hyped matchups of the season, the Detroit Lions made a statement that will echo throughout the NFL for weeks to come. When 93,644 fans filled the iconic AT&T Stadium, affectionately known as “Jerry World,” they expected an intense battle between two NFC powerhouses. What they got instead was a lopsided affair, as the Lions steamrolled the Dallas Cowboys in a 47-9 blowout, handing the Cowboys their worst home loss in the history of the stadium, which opened its doors in 2009.
The aftermath of the game wasn’t just painful on the field for Dallas; it spilled over into the online arena. Cowboys’ social media admins posted a crowd shot, boasting about the record-setting attendance. Yet, fans were quick to notice something odd: the final score was conveniently blurred out on the massive center video board. Clearly, the Cowboys’ social team was trying to distract from the disaster on the field. But the Lions weren’t about to let them off the hook that easily.

Detroit’s social media team, never shy about capitalizing on a golden opportunity, pounced. They responded with a cheeky jab, posting, “Is it us or is the scoreboard a little blurry?”-complete with a magnifying glass emoji. The post instantly blew up, delighting Lions fans and drawing plenty of laughs from around the league.
It wasn’t just the Lions’ official account that got in on the fun. Fans quickly followed suit, calling out the Cowboys for trying to hide their embarrassment. One fan sarcastically asked, “Can y’all fix it up? The admin of the Cowboys seemed to have forgotten their glasses.” The response was pure gold: the Lions fired back with a screengrab of the final score, 47-9, making sure no one forgot just how brutal the game had been.

This savage trolling came on the heels of what was, by all accounts, a disastrous night for Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and his team. In the post-game press conference, Jones didn’t sugarcoat the severity of the loss, calling it “very concerning” and “humbling.” But despite the mounting pressure, Jones stopped short of placing head coach Mike McCarthy’s job on the chopping block.
“Oh, I haven’t even considered that. I’m not considering that, so you’re clear,” Jones said, growing visibly frustrated with questions about McCarthy’s future. “Do you think I’m an idiot? Do you? OK? Well, I’m not gonna hypothetical with you about what I consider coaching change in light of the timing we’re sitting here with.”
Whether McCarthy is on the hot seat or not, the reality is grim for the Cowboys. As they enter their bye week, they’ll have to face tough questions about their future, especially with a critical road matchup against the San Francisco 49ers looming in Week 8. The 47-9 demolition is not just a blow to their record but also to their pride-especially after such a public roasting from Detroit.
For now, the Cowboys are licking their wounds, while the Lions, riding high after the massive win, have shown they’re not just contenders on the field but are also taking home victories in the digital world.
