Eagles make statement on defense #nfl #sportsnews Detroit Lions at Philadelphia Eagles<br /><br />PHILADELPHIA -- The Eagles' defense "made a statement" Sunday night, shutting down quarterback Jared Goff and the <br />normally high-powered Detroit Lions' attack in a 16-9 win that swings the conference odds in Philly's favor. <br /><br />Detroit Lions at Philadelphia Eagles<br /><br />"We talked about it all week, going out there, being physical, playing our style of game. They've got to come <br />through us. They've got to come through Philly if they want to advance," Eagles defensive tackle Jordan Davis <br /><br />said. "We went out there and made a stand, made a statement on defense, and I'm very proud of the guys."<br /><br />Davis had three batted passes, one of which resulted in a Cooper DeJean interception. Davis' former Georgia <br /><br />teammate, Jalen Carter, added two batted passes.<br /><br />Their success wasn't by accident. The Eagles gleaned from tape study that they would have opportunities to swat <br /><br />down some of Goff's passes because he throws at an angle, Davis said. They had a dedicated drill this week, <br /><br />simulating batted passes, with a defender behind them to haul in the interception.<br /><br />#nfl #nflscores #nflgames #eagles #lions #espn #nflschedule <br />#eagleshighlights #eaglesnews #lionsgame #detroitlions <br />#eaglesscore #lionsscore #snf #nflresults #nflfootball<br />#lionsvseagles #eaglesgame #lionsgamescore #rimpactx #espn
