The Philadelphia Eagles are 1-0 after opening their 2022 season with a Week 1 road win over the Detroit Lions. Final score: 38 to 35.
This game had the makings of an Eagles blowout win at one point. But unlike last year’s matchup between these two teams, the Lions did not go away. They kept fighting and took advantage of an Eagles defense that was too often too leaky.
The Eagles’ offense went through a dry spell during a key stretch but they ultimately closed the game out on their final drive.
While there were a number of positive takeaways, the Eagles were sloppier than they probably would like to be.
