Lions troll Patriots by playing touchdown song during joint practice
Perhaps the Detroit Lions are going a bit more for attitude in 2019, and are using their joint practices with the New England Patriots to set the tone.
The Patriots were in Allen Park, Mich. on Monday for a joint practice with the Lions, who decided to do a little trolling. During the practice, the Lions played Bon Jovi’s “This Is Our House,” which is the touchdown song used by the Patriots.

There are plenty of connections between the Lions and Patriots. The Lions employ former Patriots executive Bob Quinn as GM and former assistant Matt Patricia as their head coach. The use of their touchdown song, however, is probably a one-off. Maybe they just want to get back at Bill Belichick for snubbing some of their fans last season.
