DETROIT (AP) — The Detroit Lions began their 2021 season by rallying to turn a potential blowout into a close loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Detroit did much the same on Sunday, falling behind 38-21 to the Philadelphia Eagles before scoring two late touchdowns and losing 38-35. Coach Dan Campbell says his team can be encouraged by the fact it didn’t play well but only lost by three points. Two of Detroit’s biggest mistakes were personal fouls that extended Philadelphia touchdown drives. Quarterback Jared Goff struggled to connect with his receivers until the later stages of the game.
