Live updates: Lions impressive early, take quick 7-0 lead on Eagles

Q1 8:42: After Jalen Hurts rushed for a first down with an 11-yard keeper, Detroit brought the heat at the line of scrimmage to force two frantic incompletions and a false start. Hurts is Hurts though, so it's no surprise he got loose for a 16-yard run to convert a daunting 3rd and 16.

Lions run to early lead

Q1 10:18: Jamaal Williams gets his second straight handoff, bounces off a pile and runs right into the endzone for six. Austin Seibert's extra point is good and it's 7-0 Lions after a dazzling nine play first drive to open the season from the offensive line and running backs.
