Eagles' Defense Dominates Lions in Gritty 16-9 Victory

As the Philadelphia Eagles' offense continues to struggle through the 2025 season, the team's defense has stepped up and carried the Super Bowl champion torch. On Sunday night, Vic Fangio's defense delivered a dominant performance, defeating the Detroit Lions by a score of 16-9.

The Eagles' defensive front obliterated the Lions' offensive line, taking advantage of the youthful and banged-up group to the tune of 20 quarterback pressures, seven QB hits, and two sacks. This relentless pressure forced Jared Goff, normally a composed quarterback, to look like his rookie self - skittish in the pocket, rushing his delivery, and missing low, wide, and way off the mark. Goff's completion rate of just 37.8% was the lowest of his career and the fifth-lowest in Lions franchise history.

"We talked about it all week, going out there, being physical, playing our style of game. They've got to come through us. They've got to come through Philly if they want to advance," defensive tackle Jordan Davis said after the game. "We went out there and made a stand, made a statement on defense, and I'm very proud of the guys."
