Detroit Lions' big rally comes up short in 38-35 loss to Philadelphia Eagles in opener

The Detroit Lions' offense looked great Sunday, cutting a 17-point deficit in the fourth quarter to three vs. the Philadelphia Eagles at Ford Field.

But the defensive issues from last season continued all day, culminating in running back Miles Sanders breaking free for 24 yards on third-and-1 on the final play before the two-minute warning, and Jalen Hurts converted a fourth-and-1 QB sneak to help the Eagles hold off the Lions, 38-35.
