The Philadelphia Eagles triumphed over the Detroit Lions in a defensive showdown, securing a 16-9 victory on Sunday Night Football. The Lions offense struggled, converting only three of thirteen third-down attempts and failing on all five fourth-down tries, including a failed fake punt. Jared Goff, the Lions quarterback, had his worst game, completing just 38% of his passes. The Eagles defensive coordinator, Vic Fangio, formerly of the Bears, played a significant role in the Lions offensive struggles. The Eagles Jalen Hurts scored the only touchdown with a tush push, while Jameson Williams celebration penalty cost the Lions a potential extra point. A questionable defensive pass interference call against the Lions allowed the Eagles to run out the clock, securing their 8-2 record and NFC lead.
