Reed, an undrafted rookie cornerback out of Oregon, stepped in front of Kyle Allen’s sideline pass and returned it 60 yards to the Lions’ 6. Jefferson closed from deep safety to intercept Allen’s end-zone lob intended for Isaac TeSlaa. Purchase stripped a deep ball from Hendon Hooker late in the fourth quarter and returned it 48 yards.

Allen threw interceptions on back-to-back possessions in the first half — the second a red-zone attempt intended for TeSlaa, intercepted by Jefferson in the end zone. Hooker, working with second-string personnel throughout, finished with the lowest passer rating of any Detroit quarterback in a 2025 preseason game.

Los Angeles finished plus-five in the turnover column, converted both fourth-down attempts, and held Detroit to 1-of-11 on third down — three figures that, read together, explain the 27-point margin more completely than any single stat line. The Chargers’ next preseason game was August 10 against New Orleans at SoFi Stadium. Detroit visited Atlanta on August 8.
