It was a tight one all the way to the end but also a familiar result, as the Detroit Lions traveled to Kansas City to beat the Super Bowl-winning Chiefs 24 to 23 with a late field goal and stun the Arrowhead Stadium faithful in the second week of the NFL preseason.
This can be taken with no surprise as the Dan Campbell’s Lions dis something similar like this last year. The team led by Patrick Mahomes suffered a barrage of offensive errors and a lack of confidence that led to a tough defeat by a score of 21-20 at the hands of Jared Goff and company to start the 2023 regular season.
While these teams are under different circumstances, the matter is that Andy Reid is having a hard time beating a Lions team that little by little has become a serious contender in the NFL, whether is the regular season or the preseason.
The Chiefs took a quick 13 to 0 lead in the first quarter thanks to a 39-yard pass by Mahomes that set up a field goal and after another one kicked, Carson Wentz threw a touchdown pass.
