The defensive reserves played well against Mahomes and the Chiefs’ first-team offense to begin the game, limiting them to two field goals (33 & 37) and 112 total yards of offense.
Carson Wentz replaced Mahomes after two series and put the Chiefs up 13-0 in the first quarter, connecting on a 22-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Xavier Worthy after Kansas City got the ball at the Lions’ 25-yard line following a Jalon Calhoun fumble on a kickoff return.
The Lions got on the board early in the second quarter on a Bates 55-yard field goal. They added to the lead midway through the quarter with their first touchdown of the preseason, a 61-yard pass from quarterback Nate Sudfeld to wide receiver Kaden Davis. Bates missed the extra point, however, and the Lions trailed 13-9.
A Harrison Butker 56-yard field goal and a Bates 23-yarder right before the half put the halftime score at 16-12 in favor of the Chiefs.
Bates trimmed the lead to 16-15 late in the third quarter on a 23-yard field goal following a 14-play, 75-yard drive orchestrated by Lions quarterback Hendon Hooker.
Kansas City increased their lead to 23-15 midway through the fourth quarter on a 64-yard pass from quarterback Chris Oladokun to wide receiver Cornell Powell. A 7-yard Hooker touchdown run cut the lead to 23-21 late, but the Lions failed to tie it up when Hooker was sacked on the subsequent two-point try.
Bates and the Lions’ defense came to the rescue late to secure the win.
