Lions lead, 38-7, heading into fourth -- after finally being stopped

Sam Martin was feeling all but ignored. And then the Lions, after scoring on six consecutive drives, bogged down in the waning seconds of the third quarter, necessitating Martin's second punt of the day, and first since Detroit's opening drive.

The Lions danced into the final quarter with a 38-7 lead behind five touchdown passes from Matthew Stafford.

Ziggy Ansah continued with an amazing day, stringing together a series of sacks against Eagles quarterback Mark Sanchez.

Calvin Johnson caught three of Stafford's five TD passes.
