Philadelphia — It shouldn't have been so difficult, but things rarely come so easy for the Detroit Lions. Following a blocked field goal, it took an offensive pass interference call and a dropped pass in the closing seconds to preserve a hard-fought 27-24 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday.
Eagles safety Malcolm Jenkins blocked a 46-yard Matt Prater field-goal attempt inside two minutes remaining, giving the Eagles a chance to tie or take the lead. But a fourth-and-5 conversion was waived off when it was ruled running back Darren Sproles pushed off to make the catch.
