The first game of the Kansas City Chiefs' latest title defense didn't go as they would have liked. For the upstart Detroit Lions, things couldn't have gone much better.
Dan Campbell's squad marched into Kansas City, made clutch plays on both sides of the ball and ended the game with a crucial first down to secure a one-point victory.
It's impossible to discount the fact that Kansas City was without its two biggest stars not named Patrick Mahomes.
Star tight end Travis Kelce, who suffered a knee injury during practice early in the week, was on the sideline.
