Kicking off their home opener, Matthew Stafford threw two of his four touchdown passes to Calvin Johnson as the Detroit Lions dominated the Kansas City Chiefs, 48-3 in front of a sellout crowd at Ford Field.

He was 23 of 39 for 294 yards and four TDs—one short of his career high— and avoided mistakes after throwing an interception on the opening drive.

Detroit broke its regular-season record set with a 44-0 win over the expansion Jacksonville Jaguars in 1995.

The Lions led Kansas City 20-3 at halftime and 41-3 early in the fourth quarter after turning two fumbles into TDs, following up their season-opening win at Tampa Bay.

Jahvid Best accounted for 123 yards and two scores. Johnson caught two touchdown passes for the second straight week and Nate Burleson had seven receptions for 93 yards.

Kansas City running back Jamaal Charles was carted off the field midway through the first quarter with an injured left knee. Initial reports indicate that he has a torn ACL & will miss the remainder of the season. The Chiefs will learn Charles' final diagnosis after an MRI exam, scheduled to be performed Monday morning.

Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Derrick Johnson provided comments after the game.
