The Lions were abysmal on third and fourth down during Sunday's loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Let's take a deeper look at each play.

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.

The Lions’ offense struggled mightily on third-down conversions. Along with that, they went goose egg on five fourth-down attempts in the 16-9 loss -- a game that was arguably winnable based on the stellar showing from Detroit’s defense. Because of this, the Lions had a slight drop in this week’s rankings from writers across the country.

The Detroit Lions defense stepped up on "Sunday Night Football" to keep the reigning Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles under wraps, even with key starters like Terrion Arnold and Kerby Joseph sidelined due to injury.

Did Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff struggle against the Eagles because he was wearing a glove on his throwing hand?

A week after the Detroit Lions' offense kicked into gear, it found itself stuck in the mud at Lincoln Financial Field.

The two lowest snap count percentages of Dotson’s 2025 season have come in each of the last two games. He had the Eagles’ longest play of scrimmage with his nice 34-yard reception that he held onto despite taking a big shot from Brian Branch.

Instead, the Lions opted for a fake punt, initiating a direct snap to Stuard right through the heart of Philadelphia’s defense. Unfortunately for Detroit, Eagles defender Jalyx Hunt -- and others -- sniffed out the trickery, stuffing Stuard at the line for no gain.
