In a rematch of the 2023 season opener, the Detroit Lions headed back to Arrowhead to play the Kansas City Chiefs. The Lions almost started the game with a fun trick play, but it was deemed illegal and overturned, turning seven points into three. The Chiefs would respond with ease to take a 6-3 lead. Detroit got the lead back quickly to make it 10-6 and it seemed like this would be a shootout type of game. The Chiefs had no issues responding as well, making it 13-10 at the half and once they got that lead, they never looked back. The Chiefs would never punt or turn the ball over and come away with the 30-17 win over the Lions.
