LIONS INTERCEPT BURROW 5 TIMES IN BLOWOUT OF BENGALS
The Detroit Lions picked off Bengals QB Joe Burrow five times, en route to a 44-20 blowout win at Ford Field. Jared Goff threw for 263 yards and three touchdowns. D'Andre Swift rushed for 118 yards and two touchdowns on 13 carries. Jamie Collins, Jeff Okudah, Will Harris, Amani Oruwariye, and C.J. Moore had interceptions. Joe Burrow threw for 317 yards in the loss.
The game was close the entire first half. The Lions opened the scoring with a 3 yard TD run by Swift. After a Bengals field goal cut it to a 7-3 lead, Goff found tight end T.J. Hockenson from 17 yards out to put the Lions up 14-3. Burrow would find Uzomah from 27 yards out, to cut it to a 4 point Lions lead. The Bengals then got a field goal with 44 seconds left, making it 14-13 Detroit.
The Bengals looked poised to take the lead, when Jared Goff fumbled the ball away inside the Lions 20. But, Burrow's pass to the end zone was picked off by Jeff Okudah, and returned to mid field. Detroit would end up getting a 47 yard field goal by Austin Seibert, to make it 17-13 Lions at halftime.
The Lions broke the game wide open in the third quarter, scoring 21 straight points. D'Andre Swift scored on a 77 yard run. Then Hockenson scored his second touchdown of the game, on a 6 yard pass from Goff. With 2:28 left in the quarter, Goff would find Tyrell Williams from 13 yards out, and the Lions led 38-13 after 3.
The Lions sandwiched a pair of Seibert field goals around a Joe Mixon touchdown run in the 4th, to provide the final score of 44-20. With the win, the Lions improve to 6-0 on the season.
The win sets up a huge showdown next Sunday in Los Angeles, against former Lion Matthew Stafford, and the LA Rams. Stafford, who was traded during the off season to LA, is having a huge year, throwing for 1700 yards, and 18 touchdowns through six games, leading the Rams to a 6-0 record.
