The Detroit Lions finally got their matchup against the Eagles, looking to make a statement as the NFC's true elite.
Jaelan Phillips and a Philly defense that may just be hitting their stride shut them down instead.
Phillips made his first sack in front of the Lincoln Financial Field crowd, and had Jared Goff on the run for what felt like all night, as Vic Fangio's group on the whole held a high-flying and high-risk-taking Detroit offense to just a touchdown (with a missed extra point) through three quarters.
Jalen Hurts and the Eagles' offense still have their issues in moving the ball, but a touchdown and three Jake Elliott field goals proved more than enough Sunday night when the Lions weren't allowed anywhere on the other side.
The Eagles won, 16-9, in another marquee primetime mat
