Lions rout Jaguars 31-14 behind Leshoure's 3 TDs

Posted November 04, 2012 on AP on Fox
PLAYERS: Mikel Leshoure,  Calvin Johnson
TEAMS: Detroit Lions,  Jacksonville Jaguars
Mikel Leshoure ran for three touchdowns, Calvin Johnson got involved early and the Detroit Lions turned in their most complete victory of the season, 31-14 over the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. Detroit dominated from start to finish, building a three-score lead before halftime and coasting after the break. It was a much different feeling for the Lions (4-4), who trailed in the second half in each of their other wins. Leshoure finished with 70 yards rushing and scored on runs of 7, 1 and 8 yards, becoming the first in franchise history to run for three touchdowns in the first half. Not even Hall of Famer Barry Sanders accomplished that feat. Johnson, who got off to slow starts in Detroit's last three games, had five receptions for 99 yards before the Jaguars (1-7) even recorded a first down. He finished with seven catches for 129 yards despite playing through a knee injury. --- Online: http://pro32.ap.org/poll and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL
