At long last, football is back Thursday night as the Los Angeles Chargers take on the Detroit Lions in the annual Hall of Fame Game in Canton, Ohio, at the Pro Football Hall of Fame. While it’s just the preseason and many starters won't be taking the field,

Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh praised his defense after Thursday's game for their efforts in stifling the Lions' rushing attack.

Chargers Defensive Coordinator Jesse Minter's group also forced five takeaways and limited the Lions to just one conversion on 11 total third downs. "Defense kind of picking up where they left off, seven points and creating turnovers for us," Harbaugh said.
