Lions Rout Patriots amid Maye Injury, Box Score Stats, Highlights for Gibbs, Goff, Top Players

The Detroit Lions continue to roll.

Detroit defeated the New England Patriots 35-10 in Sunday's showdown at Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany, to extend its winning streak to five as it improved to 7-2 on the season. As for the 5-5 Patriots, they have now lost three of their last four and have bigger concerns after ruling out quarterback Drake Maye out with an ankle injury he suffered in the first quarter.

That put Tommy DeVito under center, and he couldn't keep pace with Jared Goff, Jahmyr Gibbs, Amon-Ra St. Brown and the rest of the Lions' offensive firepower. Gibbs in particular was unstoppable, while both he and St. Brown scored multiple touchdowns.

Sunday's game started in problematic fashion for both teams, as both Maye and Lions pass-rusher Aidan Hutchinson went to the locker room. Hutchinson's setback was ruled a knee injury and appeared to happen as he was celebrating a sack:

Even without Hutchinson, the Lions still seized full control in the first half.

St. Brown broke free in the New England secondary for a 56-yard score as the game's first touchdown before Goff found Isaac TeSlaa for another touchdown to open up a two-score advantage. TeSlaa's touchdown was the final play of a 97-yard drive that featured plenty of Gibbs cutting his way into space and using his speed to blow past defenders.

It was fitting, then, when he scored the next touchdown shortly before halftime to put New England in a daunting 21-3 hole with its backup quarterback playing.

It wasn't all good news for the Detroit offense, as Goff threw interceptions to Christian Gonzalez and Kevin Byard in the first half. The Byard pick came in the end zone and at least kept the AFC East team somewhat within striking distance heading into the second half.

But striking distance with DeVito is different than it would have been with Maye.

The backup threw an interception to Roger McCreary in the first half and continued to struggle against the Lions defense after intermission. Even with A.J. Brown back in the lineup for the first time since Oct. 22, New England struggled to get anything going with Maye sidelined.

By the time St. Brown used his physicality to power his way into the end zone for his second touchdown, the game was all but over. It was also fitting that St. Brown played so well in Germany, as he spent significant time growing up in the country where his mother, Miriam, was born.

To DeVito's credit, he fought through the early struggles and directed an impressive 13-play, 87-yard touchdown drive that he finished in the fourth quarter with a connection to Lan Larison for the running back's first career touchdown.

Yet even that drive featured a concern, as Brown went to the locker room with a hamstring injury and was ruled out.

Gibbs added insult to injury with another long touchdown run as the fourth quarter continued, giving the Lions plenty of momentum as they turn their attention to a home game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

As for the Patriots, they at least have a bye week as they deal with a number of high-profile injuries.
