Detroit — It was a 17-point game late in the third quarter. The Lions, once again, forced a third down.
Not only did they not get the stop — like at so many other points in Sunday's 38-35 season-opening loss to the Philadelphia Eagles at Ford Field — but they also lost a captain.
Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts scrambled for a first down and took a late hit from Lions safety Tracy Walker. Hurts' teammates didn't take too kindly to the late hit, and when tight end Dallas Goedert and wide receiver Zach Pascal approached Walker about it, Walker threw a punch and was promptly ejected.
