3 winners (and 2 losers) from Eagles' defensive slugfest victory over Lions

While the Philadelphia Eagles' offense struggled mightily against the Detroit Lions, they managed to pull out a 16-9 win over the team from the Motor City.

The defense of the Eagles was the star of the game, stopping the Lions on five fourth-down attempts. Philly's only good players on offense were Saquon Barkley (83 yards rushing) and A.J. Brown (seven receptions for 49 yards).

Not many Eagles fans are going to feel good about the struggling offense, but at 8-2, the defense certainly showed up in a big way with multiple stars from the game.
