Dallas Cowboys cage Lions: The Best Post-Game Tweets
After the Dallas Cowboys dominated the Detroit Lions on Monday Night Football 42-21, Twitter exploded with some great reactionary tweets.
With no playoff implications on the line for America’s Team, the Dallas Cowboys demonstrated their mental toughness by dominating the Detroit Lions on Monday Night Football, 42-21.
Dallas scored 28 unanswered points starting at the end of the second quarter to win the game by a wide margin. Although the Cowboys dynamic rookie duo of quarterback Dak Prescott and running back Ezekiel Elliott both performed well, the game was more of a showcase for former All-Pro wide receiver Dez Bryant.
The seventh-year receiver not only scored two receiving touchdowns, but he also completed his first pass attempt for a score. It was a ten-yard strike to veteran tight end Jason Witten. The 21-point victory improves the Cowboys season record to an NFL leading 13-2, tied only with the New England Patriots. Dallas has a chance to set the franchise’s all-time record for wins in a season next Sunday against the 6-9 Philadelphia Eagles.
Following the Cowboys dominating victory over the Lions, who were in fact fighting for a playoff bid, Twitter exploded with support for America’s Team from players, legends, celebrities, media members and, of course, their fans. Below you’ll find a list of some of the best Tweets following the Boys’ latest victory.

Jerry Jones says Tyron Smith is "fine." Cowboys had an eye on him and opted not to return him to the game.
