had a lot to do with the Los Angeles Chargers leading the Lions for three-plus quarters.And http://www.thechargerslockerroom.com/authentic-darius-philon-jersey , both players bounced back in the final minutes to lift Detroit to a 13-10 victory Sunday.Stafford threw a go-ahead, 31-yard touchdown pass to Kenny Golladay midway through the fourth quarter and Slay made an interception in the end zone with 1:03 left.Detroit (1-0-1) overcame Stafford's two interceptions, Slay getting outplayed by Keenan Allen and Matt Prater missing an extra point and a field goal."I'm doing this team a disservice if I shut down after two picks," Stafford said.The Chargers (1-1) were in a position to attempt a 45-yard field goal to tie the game, but Philip Rivers tried to force a pass to Allen and Slay picked it off.Allen had his way with Slay for much of the day, making eight catches for 98 yards."I feel like I was putting on a clinic and then to come down to the last play and he makes a play," Allen said.The Lions failed to make plays on both sides of the ball in the opener, blowing an 18-point lead in the fourth quarter and settling for a tie at Arizona. Stafford converted a third-down pass to Jesse James with just under a minute left — a week after a timeout was called just before Stafford completed a pass that could've sealed a win over the Cardinals.During much of Detroit's home-opening game, though, it looked as though the franchise would have to wait at least another week to earn a win.Austin Ekeler leaped over the goal line for a 1-yard TD on the Chargers' second drive.Detroit scored a TD on the ensuing possession with a screen pass that Kerryon Johnson bobbled before securing and sprinting for a 36-yard reception, but Prater muted some of the cheers by missing an extra point to the left. Prater also missed a 40-yard field goal to the right in the second quarter.The Chargers went from their 3 to the Detroit 21 in 1:16, setting up Ty Long's 39-yard field goal as time expired in the first half to give them a 10-6 lead.Stafford threw a long pass up for grabs in the end zone early in the third quarter and cornerback Casey Hayward came down with it. Stafford had thrown 181 passes without an interception, which was the NFL's longest active streak.The Chargers had two TDs negated by flags on the next drive and a penalty by Detroit gave Los Angeles the ball at the 1. Ekeler tried to dive into the end zone again for a score, but rookie Jahlani Tavai forced him to fumble and linebacker Devon Kennard recovered it.Los Angeles got in position to score again in the third, but Long missed a 39-yard field goal by hitting the left upright. The punter was filling in for kicker Michael Badgley Womens Adrian Phillips Jersey , who missed a second straight game with a groin injury.Stafford helped the Chargers keep their lead on the next possession, trying to force a deep pass to Marvin Jones and getting it easily picked off by safety Rayshawn Jenkins."I felt like that third quarter, it was right there for us to blow the doors off," Rivers said. "And then we kept letting it stay at 10-6."Los Angeles opted to attempt a 41-yard kick instead of going for it on fourth-and-1 at the Detroit 23 and Long couldn't convert on the field goal early in the fourth quarter.Detroit coach Matt Patricia chose to pass, instead of kick, on a fourth-and-1 on the ensuing drive and Stafford converted on a pass to Jones to set up his go-ahead throw to Golladay on the next snap."That was a laser," Patricia said, reflecting on Stafford's throw to Jones. "I don't know if Marvin caught it or if it just stuck in his chest."RARE RUNRivers converted a third-and-10 with a 12-yard run early in the next drive for his longest run since the 2014 season before getting picked off.HE SAID IT"There's a lot of bad football in September," Patricia said.THE NUMBERSChargers: Rivers was 21 of 36 for 293 yards and an interception.

Among all qualified guards in 2018, Dan Feeney had the lowest pass-blocking grade (38.3), the fifth-lowest overall grade (43.8), and the sixth-lowest pass-blocking efficiency grade (95.1). Fluker, two years removed from his previous Chargers tenure Drew Kaser Jersey , might have been a, well, fluke in 2018, when he put up a career-best 75.1 pass-blocking grade in Seattle (27th at the position), but the Chargers should dive in and find out. He has to be an improvement on Feeney.Don't panic: 10 NFL players bound to bounce back in 2019 - Michael RennerWithout his fellow linemate Joey Bosa, Ingram’s efficiency took a drastic step back in 2018. Some of that can also be explained by the fact that the Chargers couldn’t afford to have Ingram come off the field, and he rushed the passer 547 times, the most of any season in his career. With Bosa back and likely a lightened load in 2019, Ingram should get back to his 80-plus pass-rushing grade.Pass-rushers to target in the 2019 NFL Draft and free agency - Austin GayleTo quote Oakland Raiders’ Jon Gruden, “Good pass rushers are hard to find.” For that reason, a lot of NFL teams, including Gruden’s Raiders, will be looking to add talented pass rushers to their rosters in the offseason.Fantasy football stats: WR lessons from 2018 - Dan ClasgensSmith-Schuster finished as a top-10 wide receiver and saw 61.5% of his snaps come in the slot.

So far this offseason they’ve lost Zac Taylor to the Bengals, promoted Jedd Fisch and Shane Waldron, and hired Wade Phillips’ son Wes to be their tight ends coach. Now, they’re hiring away Eric Henderson from the Chargers to be their new defensive line coach, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network (Twitter link).
