After the Chargers punt, Jamal Agnew fumbled the return, but was bailed out by offsetting penalties. The Lions defense continued to hold strong, but their special teams continued to look downright awful. Sam Martin’s punt nicely pinned the Chargers at their own 12-yard line. The Lions managed to work their way out of the hole with a few first downs but couldn’t get past their own logo at midfield. GET HYPE THEN | #BudLightCelly /wkWgAPRYIV- Detroit Lions SeptemSecond quarter I say potential, because Matt Prater missed the extra point 7-6 Chargers. Johnson bobbled the ball but after corraling it, he would trot 36-yard for the potential game tying score. Kerryon Johnson would cap it off on a brilliant double screen look. The Lions quickly answered with a steady drive of their own. Keenan Allen pitched in with catches of 12 of 10 yards, and Los Angeles would eventually punch it in Austin Ekeler on third-and-goal from the 1-yard line. Lined up out wide, Ekeler pulled a double move on Lions safety Tracy Walker and Rivers found him for a big 35-yard gain. The Chargers got things going on the next drive thanks to a splash play from Austin Ekeler. After two ineffective runs from Kerryon Johnson, Matthew Stafford had to throw away his first passing attempt of the game after a free blitzer was threatening. The Lions’ offense didn’t fare much better. But Detroit’s defense got off to another strong start, forcing a quick three-and-out after a Darius Slay pass breakup on third-and-long. The Detroit Lions won the toss and deferred, meaning it would be up to Philip Rivers to kick off the game. In the end, the Lions managed to capitalize just enough on some bad LA mistakes and come away with the 13-10 win. The Detroit Lions didn’t play a perfect game, but neither did the Los Angeles Chargers.
