NFL Lions: Stafford throws 4 TDs in 48-3 win; KC loses Charles to knee injury

Matthew Stafford threw two of his four touchdown passes to Calvin Johnson and Detroit routed the Kansas City Chiefs 48-3 Sunday, matching the 45-point win it had over Cleveland in the 1957 NFL Shop title game.
Detroit broke its regular-season record set with a 44-0 win over the expansion Jacksonville Jaguars in 1995. The Chiefs (0-2) were expected to be competitive after winning the AFC West last season, but they're losing games and players at an alarming rate. Kansas City running back Jamaal Charles was carted off the field midway through the first quarter with an injured left knee, hurting a Football Jerseys team already without Pro Bowl safety Eric Berry and tight end Tony Moeaki for the rest of the season.
"The season will not be canceled as far as I know," Chiefs coach Todd Haley said. "What we have to do is we have to stop doing those things that are costing us dearly, and putting us in very difficult positions." The Lions led Kansas City 20-3 at halftime and 41-3 early in the fourth quarter after turning two fumbles into TDs, following up their season-opening win at Tampa Bay, in a home opener that didn't disappoint their fired-up fans.
"We have to make sure this isn't like the Denver game. We blew them out like this, and we thought we had arrived, and look what happened." Detroit dominated the Broncos 44-7 at home in 2007 to improve to 6-2 only to collapse with one win in the second half of the season, leading to the NFL's Replica NFL Jerseys  first 0-16 year in 2008.
Back then, though, the Lions didn't have a quarterback quite like Stafford or an assortment of playmakers on both sides of the ball. He was 23 of 39 for 294 yards and four TDs — one short of his career high — and avoided mistakes after throwing an interception on the opening drive.Stafford threaded a 15-yard pass to Johnson for the first score and put a pass where only Tony Scheffler could catch it on a 36-yard TD in the second quarter.
