It's the Philadelphia Eagles' first game this season. Their first challenger was the Detroit Lions. The Lions were the underdog in the game, as everyone expected a clean win from the Eagles. We live in reality and not a fairytale, so the underdog did not clench this out (Thank goodness!). While the Lions drew first blood, the Eagles quickly evened the score in Quarter 2 and never lost the lead. The Detroit Lions did narrow the lead, and there was a chance that they could flip the game in Quarter 4. Get a full breakdown of the game stats below:

Hurts connects with AJ Brown for a 54-yard reception
Huge props to the o-line on that play. They formed a literal wall on the right side. It was beautiful. I shed a tear. It was an incredible effort by AJ on the catch but even more so on gaining the extra yards afterward.
