Dagger Time: Lions Blow Lead, Lose Opener to Chicago Bears, 27-23:  https://www.si.com/nfl/lions/news/chicago-bears-defeat-detroit-lions-season-opener

Detroit Lions' Inability to Close Continues to Haunt Matt Patricia:  https://www.si.com/nfl/lions/news/detroit-lions-cannot-close-out-games-again

Mike Rothstein on D (Through three defensive drives, the Lions may not have started Tracy Walker but have used him a bunch. He's been a versatile piece, playing both up high and down inside the box. He had a tackle for loss and was in coverage on multiple plays. Justin Coleman also had really good coverage on a couple of plays for the Lions, including on an end zone pass for Allen Robinson. More like the Coleman that started off last season for Detroit.):  https://www.espn.com/espn/now?nowId=21-41099325-4

Mike Rothstein on TD drive (D'Andre Swift with his first career TD on the 2-minute drive with a 1-yard run. First Lions touchdown of the year. Really nice drive put together by the Lions. Really fed T.J. Hockenson there and used him in motion, too. Plus the ball he caught on the corner route was a great one from Matthew Stafford.):  https://www.espn.com/espn/now?nowId=21-41099341-4

Mike Rothstein on first half (It took 28 minutes, but the Lions finally completed a drive -- capping what had been largely a productive offensive half for Detroit (other than in the red zone). Matthew Stafford threw for 166 yards and D'Andre Swift had his first career touchdown (a 1-yarder) for a 13-6 halftime lead over Chicago. Defensively, the Lions have been much better against Mitchell Trubisky than prior outings -- a sign of progress, perhaps, on that side of the ball, holding him to 40 percent completions.):  https://www.espn.com/espn/now?nowId=21-41099347-4

Mike Rothstein on TJ Hockenson TD (Matthew Stafford's touchdown pass to T.J. Hockenson to give Detroit a 20-6 lead on Chicago was great work by Hockenson. He ran and connected with Tashaun Gipson. Then almost posted Gipson up for a second before slightly cutting inside to create the space for Stafford's 4-yard touchdown pass. It's why Hockenson is considered such a potential breakthrough candidate as a red zone threat.):  https://www.espn.com/espn/now?nowId=21-41099356-4

Mike Rothstein on Lions loss (Deja vu for the Lions. After blowing a double-digit lead last year in the season opener against Arizona, the Lions blew a 17-point lead in a 27-23 loss to Chicago. Defense falling apart, the Lions offense getting conservative and even a 55-yard miss by kicker Matt Prater all led to a collapse.):  https://www.espn.com/espn/now?nowId=21-41099394-4


Trubisky throws 3 TDs in 4th to help Bears beat Lions 27-23:  https://www.espn.com/nfl/recap?gameId=401220282
