When an opponent calls the Lions one of the dirtiest teams ever, is that a good thing?

Jets linebacker Bart Scott had a few things to say after the Lions lost to the Jets 23-20 in overtime on Sunday.

“They’re a good football team but by far the dirtiest football team I’ve ever played against since I played the Tennessee Titans. They are the dirtiest team I’ve played against. Some of the stuff they do out there I understand, but I’ll just be happy with the victory,’’ Scott said.

Then he added, “I swear to God I hope I see them again in life.”

Pretty strong stuff especially since he was on the winning side.
