The Dan Campbell era in Detroit got off to a predictably difficult start on Sunday, with the 49ers holding a 41-17 lead as the clock ticked below 10 minutes left in regulation. But when the chips were down for the Lions, Campbell's team rallied in a major way.
Detroit cut the 49ers' lead to 16 with a touchdown with 1:53 to play, and the Lions scored again less than a minute later after recovering an onside kick. Facing long odds once again down 41-33, Campbell's crew earned one more chance in the final seconds.
49ers wideout Deebo Samuel fumbled the ball as he looked to seal the game with a first down near midfield, setting up the opportunity for a game-tying drive down 41-33.
