Lions Clinch First Playoff Trip Since 1999

Oct 31, 2014 11:40 AM

The Lions defeated the Chargers 38-10 on Saturday afternoon to clinch their first playoff berth since 1999. The crowd at Ford Field chanted "Play-offs! Play-offs!" as the final few minutes ticked away and the players took a victory lap around the field after the game. Matthew Stafford appeared to be touched by the face-to-face interaction with fans hanging over the railing to reach his raised right hand. "You could just get a sense of how much it meant to them," Stafford said. "It was fun to give them that kind of joy." The Lions (10-5) have won three straight after a seven-game slump to earn an NFC wild card, turning around the franchise after it was bad enough just three years ago to become the league's only 0-16 team.

Kansas City played under interim coach Romeo Crennel, who took over for fired head man Todd Haley. Green Bay led for a few minutes in the third quarter and Rodgers brought them to within five points after scoring on an eight-yard dash with just over two minutes left in regulation. The Packers were unsuccessful in their attempt at an onside kick after the score.

Cincinnati 20, St. Louis 13 Trench Counter: Bengals -1, Rams +1 The Cincinnati Bengals (8-6) didn't play that well, but they had enough to top the St. Louis Rams (2-12). They trailed at halftime, but scored 17 consecutive points to take a 20-6 edge into the final half of the fourth quarter. St. Louis was held out of the end zone until there was just 1:08 left when Kellen Clemens found Danario Alexander for a 25-yard touchdown.

Palmer finished 32-for-40 with 367 yards and a score, connecting often with Darrius Heyward-Bey. DHB had eight receptions for 155 yards and a score. New England 41, Denver 23 Trench Counter: Patriots +7.5, Broncos -7.5 The New England Patriots (11-3) solved the puzzle that is Tim Tebow as they beat the Denver Broncos (8-6) and won the AFC East title in the process.

Tebow went 11-for-22 with 194 yards and scrambled 12 times for 93 yards and two scores, but he didn't have enough help from his defense to complete another late-game comeback victory. Willis McGahee and Lance Ball helped Tebow dominate on the ground, combining to rush 18 times for 134 yards and another score on the ground. Arizona 20, Cleveland 17 (OT) Trench Counter: Cardinals +6.9, Browns -6.9 The Cleveland Browns (4-10) led 17-7 in the third quarter, but the Arizona Cardinals (7-7) stormed back as they scored 13 unanswered points to end the game.

The Eagles jumped out to a 28-0 lead and LeSean McCoy finished things off with two rushing touchdowns in the second half. Each team committed four turnovers, but the Eagles were better at capitalizing on mistakes. Michael Vick passed for 274 yards, a touchdown and an interception, while McCoy finished with 102 yards and three scores on 18 carries. Mark Sanchez tossed a pair of interceptions and also lost a fumble in the damaging loss. The embattled quarterback went 15-for-26 with 150 yards and two scores, one to Santonio Holmes and another to Plaxico Burress.
