The Detroit Lions got their first win since December 2007 on Sunday against the Washington Redskins. They dominated the game in the first half with 13 points, the Redskins tried to turn the scoreboard in the second half, but Detroit's defensive line was struck by the grating structures solid and impenetrable, the Lions break a losing streak after 19 games lost the thread.
Matt Stafford, the first overall pick in the Draft 2009, managed to surprise the league with 21 completions for 241 yards and a touchdown. Quarterback Bryant chose Johnson as his favorite target, offering 4 passes for 73 yards and a touchdown, and although Kevin Smith accumulated up to 101 yards per rush, the game was developed mainly by air, showing that Matt Stafford is a completely effective player in their efforts to pin.
On the other hand the Washington Redskins battled for the ball, had a minimum time of possession and the defense leaked a large number of passes. Statistically surprised Jason Campbell completed 27 passes for 300 yards and two touchdowns, definitely a significant number of the Quarterback in the race but could not carry the marker effectiveness Campbell on Sunday afternoon.
This result puts the Detroit Lions in the sights, your calendar is definitely more complex and even by the division in which it is located.
