Lions line up to punt for the first time today after Brian Burns sacks Jared Goff.

— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) October 8, 2023

LB Kamu Grugier-Hill down after the last play.

Walks off the field under his own power. Got caught under a pile.

— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) October 8, 2023

Update: Panthers guard Chandler Zavala is still being treated at a local hospital. He is alert and has movement in all extremities.

— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) October 8, 2023

Eddy Piñeiro makes a 33-yd FG just before halftime.

DET 28, CAR 10 | 0:06 2Q

— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) October 8, 2023

And a quick answer for the Lions, and they're up 28-7.

The Panthers had little margin of error, and have turned it over three times in the first half.

— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) October 8, 2023

Young's second interception of the day on first down.

Quick turnovers are killers for the defense.

— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) October 8, 2023

Detroit turned both of its takeaways into TDs and now lead the Panthers by 14.

DET 21, CAR 7 | 3:50 2Q

— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) October 8, 2023

Miles Sanders immediately fumbled and it's recovered by Detroit's Will Harris.

Two turnovers already for the Panthers.

— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) October 8, 2023

Miles Sanders fumbled on first down. Lions recover.

— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) October 8, 2023

The Panthers just stopped the Lions on fourth down, with Troy Hill breaking up the pass intended for David Montgomery.

Hill looked like a luxury veteran add when he signed in August. Has quickly become a necessity.

Tommy Tremble TD caps off a long scoring drive. 14 plays, 75 yards, 7:05 off the clock.

Panthers LG Chandler Zavala taken to area hospital after neck injury. https://t.co/EdCxVZ5YXt

— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) October 8, 2023

Chandler Zavala (neck) is being taken to a local hospital for evaluation.

— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) October 8, 2023

That was a thumbs up from Zavala. Cade Mays in at RG. The game moves on.

— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) October 8, 2023

Chandler Zavala carted off the field, they had him on a board.

He gave thumbs up as the cart moves. Thank goodness.

— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) October 8, 2023

Chandler Zavala down and it does not look good at all. Benches have cleared and much of the team is taking a knee.

Really, really, really, really, really hope he is OK.

— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) October 8, 2023

Chandler Zavala down injured on the play. Place gets really quiet.

— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) October 8, 2023

Lions take advantage of the short field with another quick touchdown. Up 14-0 with 4:53 left in the first quarter.

— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) October 8, 2023

And an interception. Not ideal.

Bryce was looking for Ian Thomas short, found Aidan Hutchinson.

— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) October 8, 2023

Three chunk plays for the Lions result in a touchdown.

DET 7, CAR 0 | 9:41 1Q

— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) October 8, 2023

Lions dealing early. Your basic three-play touchdown drive.

— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) October 8, 2023

Panthers lined up on offense with fourth-and-4, delay of game. Johnny Hekker lines up to punt, false start on Chandler Wooten.

But the punt travels far, and Detroit's offense will have to start at the 18.

— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) October 8, 2023

Catch stands. Detroit charged with a timeout.

So the offense continues at midfield and that good conversion holds up. https://t.co/szlBXLkAnq

— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) October 8, 2023

Lions are challenging that Chark catch.

Regardless your partisan leanings, never a bad time to hear Chaka Khan and Rufus' "Tell Me Something Good."

Ruling stands.

— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) October 8, 2023

Got pretty loud at Ford Field before a Panthers third-and-long, Bryce Young to DJ Chark connection appears to convert on third down, but the Lions are challenging.

Pretty big decision here, will determine if Carolina gets to keep building on early momentum.

— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) October 8, 2023

Bryce with a strike to DJ Chark on third-and-12. Nice conversion in a loud place. Protection good so far.

— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) October 8, 2023

Rookie WR Jonathan Mingo, back from concussion protocol, catches Bryce Young's first throw of the day.

Welcome to the Jim Caldwell Revenge Game, everyone.

— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) October 8, 2023

Panthers win the toss, elect to receive.

So we'll see Bryce Young and the offense first here at Detroit.

Nine months ago today, Panthers RG Austin Corbett tore his ACL in the regular season finale at New Orleans.

He returned to practice this week, and could be back on the field after the bye.

More on the latest (big) step in his comeback.https://t.co/4DmCc1CsXG

White jerseys, black britches today, as modeled by JJ Jansen.

I have just the loveliest view of today’s game between the Panthers and Lions (and @alexzietlow05 diligently at work!)

Follow along with me from Detroit 📍 pic.twitter.com/MeCwCtemLj

— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) October 8, 2023

D'Shawn Jamison expected to start for Donte Jackson today, across from CJ Henderson (who is starting for Jaycee Horn).

Helps that the Lions are without Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jahmyr Gibbs, but the Panthers are piecing together a secondary (Xavier Woods still out as well).

— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) October 8, 2023
