There’s that old adage about poking the bear. The saying goes: “Don’t poke the bear.” THE Green Bay Packers must not be familiar with this expression.

“The team that executed better won. Not the best team,” Elgton Jenkins was quoted as saying Kyle Malzhan’s X platform account.

Because to say it Detroit Lions were not the best team in their 24-14 victory against the Packers is simply false. Truth be told, the rain probably saved the Packers from one of their most embarrassing home losses.

The Lions weren’t just the better team on Sunday. They were better when they played three previous times in Green Bay and five of the last six games they have played in total.

In fact, Detroit currently owns Green Bay. I don’t expect players to say the opposing team is better than them. I also don’t expect them to outright lie.

I guess the Lions have one more reason to give the Packers the Treatment of the Dallas Cowboys when they see each other again on December 5.

I guess the Packers need a reminder of this new look Detroit Lions. The team that is whooping teams So bad that they practice trick plays in the game and don’t care if it’s filmed.

The Lions beat the Packers worse than the score showed on Sunday and it was thanks to the weather. Jared Goff threw half as many passes, had half as many passing yards and didn’t turn the ball over. He also threw a touchdown to Amon-Ra St. Brown.

They ran all over the Packers and even took away Jordan Love and returned it for a touchdown. They did what they wanted against the Packers; on the road.

They not only executed better; they are better. Let’s also not forget that before the Titans broke the curse, every team that lost to Detroit ended up losing the following week. For what it’s worth, this season could be an upset for the Packers with back-to-back losses.

I would think twice before throwing shade at a Lions team that has no problem running up the score. Because in the comfortable confines of Ford Field, they might not be nice enough to run out of time. They can dip into this deep bag of trick games just to prove how much better they are than you.
