In a game dominated by the Detroit Lions, the team took a commanding 21-0 lead at halftime, ultimately securing a 35-10 victory over the Denver Broncos. The Lions' offense, led by quarterback Jared Goff who completed 15 out of 20 passes for 160 yards and four touchdowns, racked up 413 total yards, significantly outpacing the Broncos' 199 yards. Key players included LaPorta, who caught two of Goff's touchdown passes, and Gibbs, who scored a 9-yard TD catch and a 12-yard TD run. Despite a 3-yard touchdown and a 23-yard field goal, the Broncos were unable to catch up.
