Smith Breaks Single-Game Rushing Mark, Lions Win Big

Going into the regular season the Lions knew they could throw the ball with any team in the league, maybe now they can run the ball as well after Kevin Smith's record-breaking performance on Sunday. Smith ran for 322 yards on 30 carries as he sprinted past Adrian Peterson's old record of 296 yards. When asked about his amazing performance Smith had this to say, "Man I can't even come up with words to describe it, it just seemed the field was wide-open for me all game long", he also then went on to congratulate his o-linemen on a great performance.

While Smith stole the show he wasn't the only Lions weapon who displayed himself to the league. Calvin Johnson was uncoverable as he caught 8 passes for 169 yards and 2 TDs including a 47 yard bomb from Stafford where Johnson out-jumped triple-coverage to secure the touchdown. That play would prove to set the tone for the Lions as they rolled to a 44-22 win over St. Louis. The Lions now must get ready for their first road-test of the season as they face the 49ers next Sunday in primetime.
