After a dominant performance on Monday Night Football, the Lions secured a 41-29 victory over the Seahawks, improving their season record to 3-1. The game was marked by the Lions’ impressive offense, led by quarterback Jared Goff, who orchestrated a powerful attack against the Seahawks’ defense.

In the lead-up to the game, Dodson made headlines with a comment that questioned the Lions’ toughness, declaring, “These motherf—ers ain’t tough!” His remarks, captured by ESPN cameras during a pre-game pep talk, were intended to motivate his teammates but quickly became a focal point for social media banter.

The aftermath of the game saw the Seahawks drop to a 3-1 record as well, raising questions about their defensive strategy in light of the Lions’ offensive prowess. The Lions’ ability to capitalize on the Seahawks’ mistakes and execute their game plan effectively underscores their growth as a competitive team this season.

After Dodson’s video went viral, the Lions went back with a response of their own. This can be seen in a tweet the team’s official X account recently shared.

Following their win, the Lions’ social media team wasted no time in responding to Dodson’s words. They posted a clever three-word tweet that playfully jabbed at the Seahawks linebacker, showcasing their confidence and team spirit. This savvy move not only highlighted the victory but also served as a light-hearted roast aimed at Dodson, further fueling the friendly rivalry between the two teams.
