DETROIT – Matthew Stafford and Darius Slay had a lot to do with the Los Angeles Chargers leading the Detroit Lions for three-plus quarters Sunday.
And both players bounced back in the final minutes to lift Detroit to a 13-10 victory.
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 63 seconds left 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 score, but Philip Rivers tried to force a pass to Allen — who 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," Allen said.
