The Detroit Lions wasted a defensive performance for the ages on Sunday night in Philadelphia.

They allowed just one touchdown the whole night, forced seven punts, held the Eagles to 3.7 yards per carry, and kept a lid on Philly’s star wideout duo of A.J. Brown and Devonta Smith.

But for as good of an effort as it was, it was ultimately all for naught.
