Dallas, Texas – E be like say dem Cowboys wan turn ‘no wahala’ to ‘plenty wahala’ as dem cruise enter Week 14 matchup for Detroit. The stakes dey high like say na postseason level. If dem lose, e no go finish dem, but e go make dem sweat like kebab for fire. And na so the Lions begin show say dem mean business, while Cowboys just dey waka as if dem no know wetin dey happen.
From the start, e be like say dem Cowboys no just dey feel am at all. As dem make their first plays, dem dey look like say dem don already collect bad news. Meanwhile, Lions dey play as if dem go protect their home, sharp sharp.

This loss dey pain well well because dem don show small improvement recently, with three straight wins wey be like say dem don finally find their groove.
But when dem reach Detroit, everything just scatter like Chinese jigsaw puzzle. The Lions’ passing attack dey chop dem secondary like suya, and dem defense once again dey look like dem no sure wetin to do. Rookie corner Shavon Revel Jr. even give dem free touchdown as e lose track of im assignment. People dey begin talk say na the defensive coordinator, Matt Eberflus, dey fail to manage dem players wey dey designed for man coverage. Na wah!
As for Dak Prescott, e try shine as usual, no be small. E dey throw accurate passes, dey move the ball, and dey avoid major errors. But wetin be the matter? The spotlight still dey shine for those drives wey no turn into touchdowns when the game still dey within reach. Na so e dey be, fair or not, na him go carry the bulk of the blame.
One shining light for this wahala na kicker Brandon Aubrey. The guy dey hit all five of him field-goal attempts, including one huge 63-yarder for third quarter. Despite say Dallas don lock many players down recently, Aubrey still dey outside the club like boy wey no fit enter bar. After this kind clutch performance, if dem no sign am quick, e go cost dem plenty cash.

The Lions don expose where Dallas dey vulnerable, and with the season dey waka fast, no time dey left for slow starts or shaky execution. Na fight wey dem need now, or e go be say dem go just dey watch playoffs from their couch. Na so e be, my padi!
