Overview
- Eagles host Detroit in Week 11 at Lincoln Financial Field, with Philadelphia 7-2 and the Lions 6-3 in a matchup carrying NFC seeding implications.
- Detroit enters off a 44-22 win over Washington in which Dan Campbell assumed play-calling, and the Lions are averaging 31.4 points per game.
- Jared Goff’s passing game with Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams and Sam LaPorta headlines Detroit’s strengths, while Aidan Hutchinson remains the top pass-rush threat.
- Philadelphia’s offense is coming off a 10-7 win in Green Bay on Monday night, and the defense has trended up with Jaelan Phillips and Nolan Smith joining Vic Fangio’s unit, with Nakobe Dean also factoring in recent weeks.
- The Lions’ secondary has been thinned, with D.J. Reed on injured reserve and Kerby Joseph and Terrion Arnold not practicing this week, and Inquirer writers cite that matchup plus the short prep as reasons for split picks.
