Lions dance their way to beat the Jaguars

The Jacksonville Jaguars had no answer for the Detroit Lions on Sunday as the NFC North team scored and danced over their AFC South opponents in the 52-6 victory.

The Lions put an end to the attack of Mac Jones and the Jaguars. Jack Campbell and Za’Darius Smith each had half a sack and Kerby Joseph had an interception.

After Smith joined Jones in the fourth quarter, he and Malcolm Rodriguez each took a golf swing and pulled off President-elect Donald Trump’s dance move, which was featured at multiple sporting events this weekend.

There was a lot to be happy about for Detroit. The Lions scored 28 points at halftime and 24 points in the second half.

Lions quarterback Jared Goff had 412 passing yards and four touchdown passes in the win. Two of the touchdown passes went to Amon-Ra St. Brown. The wide receiver had 11 catches for 161 yards. Jameson Williams had four catches for 124 yards and a touchdown. Brock Wright caught the other touchdown pass.
