Ford Field hasn’t been as loud as it was on Sunday in a long time, not for the home football team anyway. The Detroit Lions played an entertaining game against the Philadelphia Eagles in front of a sellout crowd of over 60,000 in Week 1.
The Eagles prevailed, 38-35, with the Lions’ furious second-half comeback coming up short. It was a stark improvement over the 44-6 outcome in the last matchup vs. Philadelphia on Halloween a year ago, but there is still work to be done in Detroit.
Here are some of the top photos from the Week 1 game between the Lions and Eagles.
