The Lions’ offense is rolling as of late. Detroit rested up during the bye week and used that energy, and perhaps some pent-up anger from last season, to lay a beatdown on the Dallas Cowboys with a 47-9 victory.
The Lions scored 40-plus points for the second straight week, following a 42-29 win over the Seattle Seahawks in Week 4. That marked just the fifth time in franchise history the Lions have accomplished that feat and the first in over 60 years, going back to 1962. The Lions opened that season with a 45-7 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers followed by a 45-24 win over the San Francisco 49ers. That Lions team finished 11-3.
The @Lions have scored 40+ points in consecutive games for the first time since 1962.
It’s only the fifth such occurrence in team history.#OnePride pic.twitter.com/u5pOqcZltJ

Detroit is now 4-1 following the big win over Dallas and now will look to keep their offense flying against the swarming defense of the 5-0 Minnesota Vikings.
