LIONS 40 COWBOYS 3 BOX SCORE

Prior to the game, quarterback Jared Goff injured his right ankle during warmups, forcing the Lions to start undrafted free agent Jonathan Moxon at quarterback. The Lions promoted Dom Spencer from the practice squad, to serve as the backup.

Moxon played extremely well, completing 22 of 34 passes for 280 yards and a touchdown, as the Lions dominated the visiting Dallas Cowboys 40-3. D'Andre Swift had 118 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Rookie Darnell Jefferson added 87 yards on the ground. Jameson Williams had a touchdown reception.

On defense, Aiden Hutchinson led the way with 7 tackles, and 3 sacks. Rookie Luther Lavay added a sack and an interception. Vontae Mack, Malcom Rodriguez, and Derrick Barnes also had sacks.

Following the game, the Lions announced that Goff would avoid going on IR, but would likely be out a few weeks. Moxon is expected to start while he was out. Nick Mullins, who was beaten out by Moxon for the backup QB job, was resigned. Spencer was returned to the practice squad.

The Lions will head to Los Angeles next week to take on the 1-0 Rams. The Rams are coming off of a 45-21 victory over the Cardinals on Monday Night Football.
