The Detroit Lions bounced back from a flat preseason debut against the Giants with a thrilling victory over the Kansas City Chiefs. The road win in the second exhibition game over the defending Super Bowl champs is a sweet taste of victory, albeit in a game that doesn’t count in the standings.
With the Lions sitting almost every starter on both sides of the ball, Detroit still managed to pull off the last-second stunner over a Chiefs team that played most starters for most of the first half of the game. Kicker Jake Bates nailed a 43-yard field goal as time expired to lift the Lions to the 24-23 win.
Here are some of the top photos from the Lions’ impressive exhibition win over the Chiefs.
