the Lions crushed the Chiefs today

Detroit destroyed Kansas City 48-3 today.  The 45 point margin of victory was Detroit's largest margin of victory in a regular season game in team history.  It matched a 45 point win over the Cleveland Browns in the 1957 NFL Championship game.  That would be the last championship they've won.  Can they at least get off the thinning list of teams that have never played in a Super Bowl at some point in the next few years?  Who knows.  But the Saints and the Cardinals both exited that dubious list over the last few years.

Mathew Stafford threw for 294 yards and 4 TDs.  Calvin Johnston caught 2 TD passes.  Jahved Best had 123 yards combined rushing and receiving with a TD.

Scarily enough, the defense should still get better.  Nick Fairley, the #4 pick out of Auburn hasn't played yet after a foot injury in pre-season.  Green Bay is going to be extremely good this year.  Chicago should be good.  Minnesota looks like they're going to not have a good year. Maybe that opens the door for the Lions in the wild card.
