PHILADELPHIA — Marvin Jones remembers the feeling of invincibility the Detroit Lions had as they rallied for fourth-quarter win after fourth-quarter win, the belief in the locker room that they could conquer anything.

In 2016, the Lions were the comeback darlings of the NFL, repeatedly digging themselves early holes, only to pull out improbable victories.

Three weeks into the 2019 season, those feelings are back.

The Lions staved off a late rally Sunday to beat the Philadelphia Eagles, 27-24, in a wild game at Lincoln Financial Field.
