The Detroit Lions won their preseason opener, a hard-fought 21-16 victory over the visiting New York Giants on Friday night. With many starters from both teams sitting out, the Lions got some great contributions from a deep rookie class in the win.
The crowd of over 48,000 in Ford Field got to see a lot of memorable moments in the game. The professional photographers captured many of those moments, too.
