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.
