That’s a game changing penalty right there. 

Could have been.  

[2006Coltsbestever]

That is a win for the Lions, holding them to 3. Still, anyone's game.

It was a good call though, contact was made before the ball got there. It is 4th down now though.

Yep. Sutton knows better. All he had to do was bat the ball down. 

[RollerColt]

Both secondaries are showing out tonight. I’m impressed.

It's a good opening night.

 

Feels good to have the games back.

[RollerColt]

Oh my… what?

I stepped away. What happened?

Good game although I am amazed with what the chiefs OL is getting away with, jumping the snap early and some blatant holds. I’m curious if we will just see less holds called this season.

Yes, Refs seem to wear chiefs jerseys under their black n white. That's really ridiculous. 

[2006Coltsbestever]

What the Chiefs OL is doing is against the rules, I think. I am surprised nobody on the Lions staff hasn't pointed that out. Collinsworth said the same thing.

[2006Coltsbestever]

Still only 20-14. A TD and extra point puts the Lions ahead.

[NFLfan]

So many drops.

[Zoltan]

Lions need to use Gibbs more, he’s a big play waiting to happen 

 

5 runs and 2 passes is not enough 

[RollerColt]

This Chiefs defense is not helping Chris Jones’s case.

I agree. The Lions look a bit out of sync right now.

Huge play. Lions needed that.

There was a fumble on the return for the Chiefs. The guy was flipping in mid-air, landed on his elbow and fumbled. They ruled him as down. 

[Zoltan]

If Goff throws to St. Brown on that 3rd down it’s a TD he was behind everyone

Yeah if the elbow touches before the ball comes out, he is down by rule.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Going to be disappointed if Lions lose lol. I am starting to hate the chiefs.

It was just crazy to witness. The only part of his body at the point touching the ground was literally just the elbow. It was the right call by the refs.

I saw that. St. Brown has been running stellar routes tonight.

[2006Coltsbestever]

Lions are in business now.

I hate the fans and the Kelce brothers. I like Mahomes and Reid. 

[2006Coltsbestever]

Beautiful TD run. Lions take the lead 21-20.

[RollerColt]

This is a great game to start the season. 

[Zoltan]

My guess is Montgomery is the better pass blocker, and that’s why he’s in more but they really need to use Gibbs better. Defense pretty much knows Gibbs is getting the ball every time he gets put in. 
 

I’m curious to see how the offense will look once Williams is back from suspension 

[2006Coltsbestever]

Great defense! Go for it Andy, just joking  

[RollerColt]

Tricky play.

[RollerColt]

It’s awesome for Lions fans to see this. I hope Detroit can do great things this year to give that hope-starved city something to cheer for. 

[RollerColt]

Good job by the home crowd on being loud. Lmao everybody but the center false start.. bahahaha…

[2006Coltsbestever]

Gibbs looked like Barry Sanders there.

[Gramz]

Everybody but the Center 

[Zoltan]

Gibbs has less than half the rushes and almost as many rushing yards as Montgomery 

[RollerColt]

That ain’t gonna cut it Ben Johnson. You can’t beat Mahomes without being gutsy and aggressive. 

[NFLfan]

My goodness. What is up with these drops?

[RollerColt]

Is Goff not seeing the defensive ends tonight? 

[2006Coltsbestever]

They pulled a Reich there and it did not work.

[Zoltan]

Bad play call on 4th and short

[NFLfan]

My friend the Giants fan may not be upset about getting rid of Toney.

Three straight runs then a bad pass call. Yep that’s a classic Reich move lmao…

Play to win
