Detroit Lions dig deep for late game comeback in Darrell Bevell’s head coaching debut.
As the monumental challenge to quickly put the failed ‘Patriots Midwest’ experiment behind them begins, the Detroit Lions did just enough to start things off right. In a battle between NFC North rivals reeling from a midseason slide and identical 41-25 losses a week ago, an Adrian Peterson touchdown run and a 4th-and-1 red zone stop lifted the Lions to a 34-30 win over the Chicago Bears.
