Lions Rout Chargers 38-10 to Clinch Playoff Spot
After a decade of losing, the Detroit Lions are in the playoffs.
With their fans chanting “PLAYOFFS” for the final minutes, Detroit got there for the first time since 1999 as Matthew Stafford threw three touchdown passes in the first half to beat the Chargers 38-10 Saturday- Moncler Outlet .
The Lions and the Buffalo Bills started the season with the league’s longest playoff droughts at 11 seasons. Detroit hasn’t been in the playoffs since Barry Sanders was its star running back and its drought is over because a decades-long search for a franchise quarterback ended with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2009 NFL draft. Coming off the league’s only 0-16 season, Detroit selected Stafford and kept him healthy for the first time this season- Moncler sale .
Detroit’s potent offense got the ball for the first time in the second half with 4:53 left in the third quarter and quickly gained 48 yards on passes to Nate Burleson and Johnson. Smith had a 4-yard run for a 6-yard TD and a 31-10 lead.
San Diego, meanwhile, didn’t score on its opening possession for the first time in eight games and finished with just 10 points —not nearly enough to keep up with the Stafford-led Lions.
