NFL
The Lions bashed the Cowboys 47-9 yesterday. Jared Goff threw three touchdown passes, and David Montgomery ran for two scores. Jake Bates kicked four field goals. Dallas quarterback Dak Prescott – the highest-paid player in pro football – turned in one of the worst performances of his career, and was eventually benched in favor of back-up Cooper Rush.
It was a costly victory for Detroit. Pass rusher Aidan Hutchinson was carted off the field in the third quarter with a badly broken leg. He’ll need surgery to repair it, and will miss the rest of the season.
Detroit has inked running back David Montgomery to a two-year contract extension worth a reported $18.25 million, with $10.5 million guaranteed.
