The Detroit Lions came up on the short end of a 38-35 shootout against the Philadelphia Eagles. All those points made for some fun highlights for Detroit’s offense.

There were several worthy candidates for Lions play of the game. One came on the first drive when RB D’Andre Swift broke off a 50-yard run to the left on a perfectly blocked play.

Jamaal Williams bouncing off multiple Eagles defenders and sashaying into the end zone for a short TD run is definitely another.

But the winner for the LIons highlight of the game comes from QB Jared Goff and WR DJ Chark. It wasn’t the best day for either of them, but their fourth-quarter TD connection was as pretty as it gets

St. Brown caught eight of 12 targets for 64 yards with one touchdown during Sunday's 38-35 loss to the Eagles.

Many were pessimistic about St. Brown sustaining the production he had down the stretch of last season when both of T.J. Hockenson and D'Andre Swift were banged up and DJ Chark wasn't on the team. However, the second-year receiver kept on rolling in the season opener, matching the most targets he saw in any game last year while finding the end zone for the fifth consecutive game dating back to last season. With that said, St. Brown's 5.3 yards per target wasn't great, especially since he had yet to dip below 6.1 YPT since becoming the focal point of the passing game in 2021. Next up for St. Brown and the Lions is a home matchup against the Commanders.

The #Eagles have 38 points and are facing Dan Campbel/Jared Goff. This shouldn't be a game with 4 mins to go.

Swift rushed 15 times for 144 yards with one touchdown while catching three of three targets for 31 yards during Sunday's 38-35 loss to Philadelphia.

Swift exploded out of the gate within an offense that now has an improved passing game in addition to its strong offensive line. While his touchdown upside will clearly be capped this season by Jamaal Williams, who saw four of give goal-line snaps while scoring twice, Swift saw all of the snaps on third down and over double the snaps of Williams overall. The result was 175 total yards for Swift, who still averaged over 6.7 yards per carry if you take out his game-high 50-yard scamper. The third-year pro will look to keep rolling in Week 2 at home against a respectable Commanders defense.

Pretty blatant cheap shot by Alex Anzalone. Clearly knew Hurts didn't have the ball.

Frank Ragnow is ACTIVE for the Lions for today's opener vs. the Eagles.

Lions safety Tracy Walker will watch the end of the Week 1 matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles from the locker room. Walker was ejected after losing his composure and committing two personal fouls on the same play.

The incident happened in the third quarter of the game, with the Eagles already leading 31-21. Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts slid late on a run play and Walker slammed into him. It was immediately flagged for unnecessary roughness on No. 21, though the intent and late nature of Hurts’ slide made that a questionable choice

Lions starting RG Logan Stenberg has a grand total of 4 snaps in two years on the Lions #Eagles interior defensive line has to dominate that matchup today

No surprise, but it looks like Logan Stenber at RG and Penei Sewell at RT for the Lions today

Detroit had Aidan Hutchinson widen his rush lane on that last 3-6, he set the edge and forced Hurts to either go back inside or run backward -- and the Lions get off the field. That's a small difference, but it's a difference -- to have a player who can do that for you now.

Josh Reynolds just ran out of the tunnel, then stopped to pose like a praying mantis lol

Malcolm Rodriguez was the 188th pick in the draft. He just started at linebacker on opening day. He's the Lions' deepest draft pick to break camp as a starter since 1987

Ben Johnson called offensive plays, as expected. "He did a good job," Campbell said.

Okudah back at the No. 2 CB spot to start the second half. Will Harris on the bench.

Leading the Lions onto the field for the 2022 season is ... Amani Oruwariye.
