Did the Lions win? Latest Detroit Lions score
No. The Lions lost 32-26 to the Carolina Panthers on “Sunday Night Football” on Oct. 4, dropping Detroit to 2-2. It was the second time this season the Lions scored at least 26 points and still lost, after a 41-31 defeat at Buffalo in Week 2.
The pattern through four weeks is simple: Detroit’s offense is putting up points every week (no fewer than 26 in any game), but the defense has allowed 30 or more three times. That is why the record sits at .500 despite the scoring.
| Week | Date | Opponent | Result | Record |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Sun., Sept. 13 | vs. New Orleans | W 31-30 (OT) | 1-0 |
| 2 | Thu., Sept. 17 | at Buffalo | L 41-31 | 1-1 |
| 3 | Sun., Sept. 27 | vs. N.Y. Jets | W 31-24 | 2-1 |
| 4 | Sun., Oct. 4 | at Carolina | L 32-26 | 2-2 |

The Red Wings opened the 2026-27 season with four straight home games and won only one of them, a 5-3 win over Ottawa in which captain Dylan Larkin scored in his season debut.
