Detroit Lions film breakdown: Did Darius Slay truly get toasted by Keenan Allen?

One of the biggest storylines from the Detroit Lions Week 2 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers was the matchup between Chargers receiver Keenan Allen and Lions corner Darius Slay. One of the league's best route runners facing off against one of the best man-coverage corners in the NFL.

Allen finished the day with eight receptions for 98 yards. While not every single reception came against Slay, a majority of them did.

Anyone who watched the broadcast would probably come away thinking the Allen won the matchup. There were many times where Allen would make a catch with Slay a few strides behind, and the announcers made sure to harp on this.
