Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles defense defeated Jared Goff and the Detroit Lions 16-9 at home on Sunday.<\/p>\n
With the win, the Eagles improved to 8-2 to stay atop an otherwise struggling NFC East, extending their win streak to four games. The Lions fell to 6-4 and dropped out of second place in the NFC North.<\/p>\n
Jalen Hurts threw for 135 yards, completing 14-of-28 passes and a rushing touchdown, but with the offense struggling much of the evening, it was the Eagles’ defense that stole the spotlight and carried Philadelphia to the win.<\/p>\n
Fans praised the Eagles defense for keeping Philadelphia afloat and helping secure the win.<\/p>\n
Jared Goff finished with 255 yards, one touchdown and one interception, completing 14-of-37 passes. Jahmyr Gibbs added 39 yards on 12 carries and 107 receiving yards, while Jameson Williamson caught Detroit’s lone touchdown.<\/p>\n
The Lions’ lone touchdown came on a second-quarter score, but a missed extra point left them stuck at six points at the half. Meanwhile, the Eagles notched two field goals and a touchdown to take a 13-6 lead while also forcing a Lions interception.<\/p>\n
The third quarter became a defensive clinic for Philadelphia, as Detroit turned it over on downs on all three of its possessions, giving the Lions five total through three quarters.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A fourth-quarter field goal extended the Eagles’ lead, and their defense continued to stifle Detroit to secure the victory.<\/p>\n
