15 Nov
Summary

The Detroit Lions achieved a commanding 35-10 victory over the New England Patriots during their Week 10 game in Germany, advancing their season record to 7-2. Despite the win, a significant concern arose early when defensive player Aidan Hutchinson sustained a leg injury while celebrating a sack, immediately after the Patriots scored a field goal on their opening possession.
Offensively, the Lions showcased remarkable performance. Jahmyr Gibbs was a standout, recording over 171 scrimmage yards and a touchdown in the first half alone, a record for an international NFL game. Amon-Ra St. Brown also contributed significantly, catching two touchdown passes, including a 56-yard reception on Detroit's initial offensive drive.
The Lions' defense proved formidable throughout the game, especially after the Patriots' quarterback Drake Maye left with an ankle injury. While Detroit missed an opportunity to score just before halftime due to an interception, their offensive line played a crucial role in enabling Gibbs's dominant rushing performance, including a 28-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter.
