### Lions Crush Jaguars 52-6 in Historic Blowout at Ford Field

The Detroit Lions returned to Ford Field with a roar, dismantling the Jacksonville Jaguars 52-6 in an overwhelming display of offensive prowess. Playing at home for the first time in three weeks, the Lions scored touchdowns on their first seven possessions, securing one of the most decisive victories in franchise history.

Detroit's dominance was evident from the outset. The Lions racked up four touchdowns in the first half alone, with David Montgomery scoring two rushing touchdowns, Jahmyr Gibbs adding another on the ground, and Amon-Ra St. Brown catching a touchdown pass. Jacksonville could only manage two field goals in the first half, showing little resistance against Detroit's relentless offense.

In the second half, the Lions continued their onslaught. Jameson Williams caught a 64-yard touchdown pass, and Brock Wright added a 5-yard score, putting the game firmly out of Jacksonville's reach. Jared Goff connected with St. Brown for another touchdown early in the fourth quarter, and kicker Jake Bates capped off the scoring with a 54-yard field goal. Detroit totaled 644 yards of offense, breaking the franchise record and marking the 10th-most yardage by any team in a single NFL game. Their 52 points were just shy of the franchise's all-time record for points in a game.

Despite losing middle linebacker Alex Anzalone to a forearm injury early in the first half, the Lions' defense held strong, forcing multiple Jacksonville punts and an interception by Kerby Joseph. Goff had a career game, completing 24 of 29 passes for 412 yards and four touchdowns, earning a perfect quarterback rating. St. Brown also made history, scoring a touchdown in eight consecutive games to set a new franchise record.

The victory extended Detroit's winning streak to eight games, the longest single-season streak in the Super Bowl era for the franchise. The Lions are now inching closer to their overall record of 10 consecutive wins, set by the 1934 team. The Jaguars, on the other hand, fell to 2-9, enduring their fourth straight loss.

Detroit's offensive execution was flawless, converting all six of their offensive drives into touchdowns before finally sending in the backups. Even then, Bates remained perfect on field goals as a Lion, moving to 15-for-15 on attempts.

The Lions' victory emphasized their resurgence this season, with their relentless offense and stout defense combining for a historic performance. With key players returning to the lineup and new additions like Za'Darius Smith contributing immediately, Detroit looks poised to continue their march toward the playoffs.
