Eagles Top Lions 16-9 After Late DPI Call as Detroit’s Offense Sputters

Referee Alex Kemp said an arm grab on A.J. Brown warranted the flag, yet Dan Campbell’s 0-for-5 fourth-down night and Jared Goff’s career-worst accuracy defined Detroit’s loss.

Overview

  • The defensive pass interference on corner Rock Ya-Sin on a third-and-8 effectively sealed the game, drawing on-air criticism from NBC’s Cris Collinsworth.
  • Referee Alex Kemp said an official saw Ya-Sin grab A.J. Brown’s arm and restrict his jump, which justified the penalty.
  • Detroit failed on all five fourth-down tries, including a first-half fake punt, marking the most fourth-down failures through three quarters in any game since 2000.
  • Jared Goff posted a career-low 37.8% completion rate (14-of-37 for 255 yards, one TD, one INT) as Amon-Ra St. Brown managed two catches on 12 targets.
  • Dan Campbell backed Ya-Sin but conceded some calls he’d like back, and the result moved Philadelphia to 8-2 and dropped Detroit to 6-4 ahead of a Week 12 game against the Giants.
