Eagles Stifle Lions 16-9 as Defense Delivers Fourth Straight Win

The win reinforced a defense-first identity as offensive inconsistency persists.

Overview

  • Detroit went 3-of-13 on third down and 0-for-5 on fourth, as Jared Goff labored under steady pressure and the Lions managed just nine points.
  • Trade addition Jaelan Phillips recorded a sack and consistent pressure, and Jordan Davis’ batted pass led to Cooper DeJean’s first regular-season interception.
  • A late, disputed pass-interference call on Rock Ya-Sin extended Philadelphia’s clock-killing drive after a series in which play-caller Dan Campbell’s fourth-down bets repeatedly failed.
  • Philadelphia’s offense mustered 16 points with Jalen Hurts throwing for 135 yards, while injuries to All-Pro RT Lane Johnson (foot) and C Cam Jurgens tightened concerns up front.
  • Jahmyr Gibbs posted a career-high 107 receiving yards and Jameson Williams scored, but Williams’ celebration drew a 15-yard penalty that pushed back a missed extra point on a windy night.
