What a waste. The Detroit Lions' defense had one of its best performances all season, only for the offense to be unable to take advantage.
For as bad as the Lions' offense was on Sunday's 16-9 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, the Eagles' offense matched it almost stride for stride. Quarterback Jalen Hurts, against the "Legion of Whom" secondary, completed just 50% of his passes for 135 yards and zero touchdown passes. It shows that his now 11-0 record against NFC North opponents as a starter deserves some additional context.
Eagles' wide receivers were shut down, with none eclipsing 50 receiving yards.
