The Detroit Lions continued their magical season on Sunday with a last-minute win against the Chargers. The team improved to 7-2 on the year and 4-1 on the road. Winning in the NFL is one thing but winning on the road is something only special teams often do.
What makes this team special, beyond the road record, is the way they get the most out of their rookie class.
