Dallas Cowboys cornerback Jourdan Lewis presented Miami Dolphins defensive lineman Davon Godchaux with the ugly truth on Twitter on Sunday.
Godchaux took a moment to celebrate an individual victory from an otherwise brutal, 31-6 loss to the Dallas Cowboys in Week 3. On one particular snap, Godchaux managed to beat Cowboys center Travis Frederick to log a tackle on Ezekiel Elliot, who still managed to gain a few yards on the play. It wasn’t much to celebrate, frankly, but Godchaux took a victory lap on Twitter: “If they are the best oline, then what am I?”
“0-3,” Lewis responded.
It’s a good point, even if its ruthlessly blunt. And perhaps, it’s what Godchaux should have expected.
Maybe Godchaux — and the defeated Dolphins — need an opportunity to see the positive. That’s totally fair. Sports should be fun, and it’s hard to imagine the Dolphins are having much of it. I don’t want to condone meanness. But let’s be real: Twitter isn’t a place where downtrodden individuals can find uplifting messages. Godchaux didn’t deserve to get shot down while celebrating a good play — he also probably should have have seen this coming.
