Eagles Host Lions on Sunday Night With NFC Seeding at Stake

Detroit's motion-heavy attack, propelled by a Hutchinson rush, faces an Eagles team defined by low turnovers, strong red-zone efficiency.

Overview

  • Dan Campbell told players to expect a hostile environment at Lincoln Financial Field and urged them to keep their poise in the prime-time road test.
  • Aidan Hutchinson missed Wednesday’s practice with an elbow issue he called “nothing to worry about,” as multiple Lions sat and several Eagles offensive linemen were limited.
  • Detroit brings a top-tier offense featuring Jared Goff’s NFL-best 74.0% completion rate, a Gibbs–Montgomery ground tandem, and extensive pre-snap motion with heavy play-action usage.
  • The Lions generate pressure at a 38.5% rate with Hutchinson tied for second in the league at 48 pressures, while they play man coverage on a league-high 43.9% of dropbacks.
  • Philadelphia has a league-low four turnovers, excels on fourth down and in the red zone, and is coming off a defensive performance that held Green Bay to seven points.
