Last Saturday I was able to photograph the Detroit Lions preseason opener as they hosted Johnny Manziel and the Cleveland Browns at Ford Field in Detroit. The Lions came from behind to win the game 13-12 by scoring the only touchdown of the game.   During preseasons there is not as much emphasis put on photographing game action as there is on getting new players on their new teams.  This may be rookies or free agents who signed in the off seasons.  The big story from this game was Johnny Manziel.  He made his NFL debut and Jim Caldwell won his first game as the Detroit Lions head coach.   Here are some of the images.  Enjoy!
