Eagles vs. Lions: The good, the bad, and the ugly

The Eagles started a season of promise with an opening, nail-biting 38-35 tighter-than-it-should-have-been victory over the dreadful Detroit Lions at Ford Field on Sunday.

Still, there was a lot of good to glean from the victory and a lot of mistakes to correct.

Miles Sanders looked good, rushing for 96 yards on 13 carries, including a touchdown, while Jalen Hurts threw for 239 yards, completing 18 of 32, scoring one TD.

Here’s a look at a lot of very good, some bad and some ugly in the Eagles’ 38-35 victory over the Lions.
