The Philadelphia Eagles were looking to get some help starting Week 14 to make their postseason run a lot easier through the final five weeks of the season. One team helped them out.
In the Week 14 opener, the Detroit Lions survived a shootout against the Dallas Cowboys, 44-30, as they moved to 8-5, while the Cowboys dropped to 6-6-1. All that momentum Dallas had after beating last year's Super Bowl opponents in back-to-back games has crumbled.
This was a big moment for the Eagles as they desperately needed help and got it from the team based in the Motor City.
