After Smith got to Jones in the fourth quarter, he and Malcolm Rodriguez each took a golf swing and busted out President-elect Donald Trump’s dance move that had been seen across multiple sporting events over the weekend.

There was a lot to be happy about for Detroit. The Lions piled on 28 points by halftime and 24 points in the second half.

Lions quarterback Jared Goff had 412 passing yards and four touchdown passes in the win. Two of the touchdown passes went to Amon-Ra St. Brown. The wide receiver had 11 catches for 161 yards.
