Eagles Top Lions 16-9 After Late PI Call as Defense Dictates Night

A disputed late pass interference call capped a game defined by Philadelphia’s defense throttling Detroit’s fourth-down aggression.

Overview

  • Head official Alex Kemp said the decisive defensive pass interference on Rock Ya-Sin was for grabbing A.J. Brown’s arm and restricting his attempt to catch the ball.
  • NBC’s Cris Collinsworth blasted the flag as an “absolutely terrible” call and argued the contact could have been ruled on the offense.
  • Detroit finished 0-for-5 on fourth down and 3-of-13 on third, with a failed fake punt and Jared Goff going 14-of-37 for 255 yards in a career-worst completion rate night.
  • Jalen Hurts scored on a 1-yard quarterback sneak and Jake Elliott hit three field goals, while Cooper DeJean recorded his first regular-season interception.
  • Jameson Williams’ 40-yard TD was followed by a 15-yard celebration penalty that pushed back a windy extra point try that was missed; Philadelphia moved to 8-2 as Detroit fell to 6-4.
