The Philadelphia Eagles' defense shut down the Detroit Lions' high-powered offense in a 16-9 win on Sunday night at Lincoln Financial Field.
In a 16-9 win that improved the Eagles to 8-2, Philadelphia allowed points on just two of Detroit’s 12 drives. That included stopping the Lions — who had scored on all but one drive last week, while producing 44 points — on downs five times. They fell to 6-4.

Philadelphia turned a ten-play 64-yard drive into a 13-6 lead after a one-yard Jalen Hurts TD run. Johnson exited the Week 10 win with an ankle injury, and it appears to have flared up again. Time: 8:20 p.m. ET
Edge rusher Jaelan Phillips and backup tackle Fred Johnson are a big reason why the Eagles won both low-scoring slugfests. The Eagles are 8-2 at this point in the season, tied with the Rams (whom the Eagles beat) for the best record in the NFC.
With six straight indoor games and their playoff hopes tightening, the Lions’ path to redemption is quietly opening — if they can seize it.
