Lions roll to 45-21 victory over Cardinals

The Detroit Lions dominated the Arizona Cardinals with a commanding 45-21 victory, showcasing a potent offensive performance that turned the game into a rout after an early stumble. Quarterback Jared Goff threw for 271 yards and three touchdowns, while running back Jahmyr Gibbs became the youngest player in NFL history to lead all active players under 25 in career touchdowns, surpassing Barry Sanders with a 3-yard score in the fourth quarter.

Gibbs finished with 200-plus yards from scrimmage, including 151 on the ground and 56 through the air, while Jameson Williams and Sam LaPorta each contributed touchdown catches. The Lions scored on seven consecutive possessions after halftime, extending their lead to 31 points in the second quarter alone, with Jake Bates adding a 46-yard field goal to cap a dominant first half.

Arizona’s Jacoby Brissett managed 292 yards and three touchdowns but faced five sacks, while Jeremiyah Love managed just 22 rushing yards. Detroit’s offensive efficiency was on full display, as they went four straight games without a turnover, marking their only one of the season by the final whistle.
