Lions lead Cardinals 24-7 at halftime

The Detroit Lions dominated the Arizona Cardinals early, building a commanding 24-7 halftime lead in a game that saw Detroit’s offense and defense both fire on all cylinders. Jahmyr Gibbs extended his standout season with a 1-yard touchdown in the second quarter, tying Barry Sanders for the most touchdowns by a player under 25, while Jared Goff added two fourth-down scores—one to Sam LaPorta for 38 yards and another to Jameson Williams for 8.

The Lions’ defense, often criticized, forced five straight three-and-outs, while Arizona’s Jacoby Brissett struggled after an early 2-yard touchdown, finishing the half with just 89 yards, a touchdown, and an interception. Injuries also loomed for Detroit, as linebacker Devin White was carted off with a forearm injury and returner Tom Kennedy was listed as questionable with a knee issue.

The Cardinals will look to regroup in the second half after a dismal first half.
