ALLEN PARK -- When Green Bay offensive lineman Josh Sitton called the Detroit Lions defensive line a bunch of scumbags, the front four responded with its most dominant performance of the season.

In the locker room following that 40-10 win over the Packers, no one would admit the insult provided extra motivation. But two hours after the final whistle, defensive end Willie Young took to Twitter and jabbed, "Great performance by the scumbag unit I'd say... Lol."

This week, in the locker of each Lions defensive lineman hung a custom black t-shirt with "scumbag" written across the chest in big, white lettering.

The party responsible for creating the shirts remains a secret.

All three players we asked declined to comment, with two saying the shirt just "showed up" in their locker.

But it's clear the unit is embracing the moniker spitefully bestowed by Sitton. Multiple players had the shirts draped across the front of the locker like a flag.

The defensive line struggled to maintain its momentum from the Thanksgiving beat down of Green Bay in snowy Philadelphia this past Sunday.

The front four failed to get any pressure on Eagles quarterback Nick Foles and were unable to bottle up LeSean McCoy as the running back broke free for a franchise-record 217 yards.

The group will look to get back on track against Baltimore on Monday night.

The Ravens have allowed 41 sacks this season, which ranks 28th in the NFL. Their offensive line has been even worse opening holes for the ground game.

Entering the contest with the Lions, the Ravens are averaging a league-worst 3.0 yards per carry.
