DETROIT, MI (WKZO AM/FM) – The Jared Goff-Dan Campbell era is off to a tough start after the Detroit Lions lost to the San Francisco 49ers 41-33 at Ford Field Sunday.
Detroit scored two touchdowns and converted a pair of two-point conversions to pull within eight late in the fourth quarter. A fumble by San Francisco would then give the Lions another shot, but their final drive ended with a turnover on downs.
The Lions visit Green Bay on Monday Night Football one week from tonight.
