At least there weren’t fans here to boo this one.
The Lions suffered a massive opening day collapse for the second straight season, losing to the Chicago Bears at an empty Ford Field, 27-23.
Mitchell Trubisky hit Anthony Miller for the game-winning 27-yard touchdown with 1:54 to play, two plays Kyle Fuller intercepted a deflected Matthew Stafford pass.
The Lions, who gave up 21 unanswered points after taking a 23-6 lead in the third quarter, had a chance to win in the end, but rookie D’Andre Swift dropped a would-be touchdown on the goal line with 6 seconds to play and Jaylon Johnson knocked down Stafford’s desperation last pass to Marvin Jones in the end zone.
