Lions have to be chomping at the bit to play Eagles after weird MNF showing

Monday Night Football this week proved to be...quite the snooze fest.

It was to be expected. The Philadelphia Eagles and Green Bay Packers are not known for their high-flying offense this year. Instead, both squads helm some of the best defensive fronts in the NFL, which led to a low-scoring affair that resulted in a 10-7 win for the Eagles.

The Detroit Lions benefited from this contest, regardless of how boring it was, as they slid up to 1st place in the NFC North following the Packers' loss. Next up, the Lions have the Eagles to deal with on the road for Sunday Night Football in Week 11.
