KANSAS CITY – The Detroit Lions' pursuit of a fifth straight victory came up short on the road Sunday night against a Kansas City Chiefs team that needed a win at home.
Detroit battled back from a double-digit fourth quarter deficit to trim the Kansas City lead to as little as three points at one point but couldn't come up with a big stop defensively against quarterback Patrick Mahomes to get any closer.

The Lions got touchdown receptions from wide receiver Jame
