Eagles-Lions preview: Five things to watch

Eagles-Lions Preview: Can Philly Contain Detroit's High-Scoring Attack?

The Philadelphia Eagles are set to take on the high-powered Detroit Lions offense in Week 11 of the NFL season. The last time these two teams met was in Week 1 of the 2022 season, and it's likely that this matchup will have similar implications for both teams' playoff hopes.

One key area to watch is the Eagles' run defense against the Lions' dynamic duo of Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery. Both backs are top-notch performers who can make big plays with their speed and power. The Lions want to be a run-heavy offense, but they've struggled when opposing defenses slow down their rushing attack.

In fact, the Lions have had three games this season where they've been held under 100 rushing yards, all of which came against teams that employed aggressive pass rush units. If the Eagles can get after Montgomery and Gibbs, it could limit the Lions' ability to control the clock and dictate tempo.

Another concern for the Lions is their secondary, which may be without three starters due to injuries. The Eagles will look to exploit any vulnerabilities in the unit by targeting Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams, and Sam LaPorta. These receivers are all on pace for big seasons, but they've struggled with consistency.

Meanwhile, the Lions' offense has been led by quarterback Jared Goff, who rarely runs with the ball himself. However, his reliance on a speedy running back like Gibbs will be crucial in breaking down the Eagles' defense.

One bright spot for Detroit is pass rusher Aidan Hutchinson, who's had an impressive season with 7 sacks and 4 forced fumbles through nine games. The Eagles must be careful holding onto the ball in the pocket to avoid his wrath.

The Eagles, on the other hand, have been dealing with their own injury concerns, particularly among their defensive line. If they can contain Hutchinson and limit the Lions' rushing attack, it could set them up for a big win against this high-powered offense.
 
I gotta say, Detroit's offense is looking super sketchy right now πŸ€”. I mean, have you seen Jahmyr Gibbs' stats? That guy is like a straight-up dynamo on the field πŸ’₯! And don't even get me started on David Montgomery – he's like the ultimate power back πŸ”₯. But at the same time, if the Eagles can get their pass rush game going and limit the Lions' rushing attack, they might just have a shot at taking them down 🀯.

And let's be real, the Lions' secondary is looking pretty shaky right now ⚠️. If the Eagles can find some consistency with their receivers, like Amon-Ra St. Brown or Jameson Williams, they've got this one in the bag πŸ’ͺ!
 
man, i'm thinking detroit's gonna be all over philly if they can get gibbs and montgomery clicking 🀯 but at the same time, eagles defense has been shaky lately so idk, maybe they'll surprise us πŸ€” gotta see how they handle hutchinson, that dude is like a freight train πŸ’¨
 
idk about detroit's offense being that explosive 🀯 ive seen teams try to run heavy and get shut down by eagles defense before its not gonna be easy for jahmyr gibbs & david montgomery to make big plays when the eagles can get after them in the backfield πŸ’ͺ also gotta wonder how good the lions are without their secondary, if they cant protect jared goff from getting sacked all game then theyre in trouble πŸ˜…
 
πŸ€” This game is gonna be lit! I'm hyped to see the Eagles' D go up against the Lions' high-scoring attack 🏈. Their run defense has been solid so far, but they'll need to step it up if they wanna contain Gibbs and Montgomery πŸ”₯. If they can get that pass rush going and harass Goff, I think Philly's got a good shot at taking down Detroit πŸ’ͺ.

But for real, this Lions' offense is scary 😱. They're like the '85 Bears on steroids 🐻πŸ’₯. One thing that keeps me up at night is their secondary, though - they've got some holes that the Eagles can exploit with their speedy receivers πŸ”΄. St. Brown and Williams have been on fire, but LaPorta's been kinda inconsistent πŸ€”.

One guy I'm really low-key rooting for is Aidan Hutchinson πŸ‘. The dude's a beast πŸ’₯! If he gets after Goff, it could be game over for the Lions ⚠️. And can you imagine if Philly can contain him and limit Detroit's rushing attack? 🀞 That'd be a W right there πŸ’―!
 
Ugh, I'm soooo hyped for this one 🀩! Like, the Eagles have been struggling to stop anyone's run game all season, and now they're facing off against these two studs from Detroit - Gibbs and Montgomery are like the dynamic duo of running backs! They're so fast and powerful, it's gonna be a nightmare trying to tackle them πŸ’₯. And if the Lions can just get going early on, I think they could control the clock and dictate tempo - that would be brutal for the Eagles 😩.

But, on the other hand, I love how the article highlights the importance of holding onto the ball in the pocket to avoid Aidan Hutchinson's wrath πŸ€ͺ. Like, this guy is UNSTOPPABLE right now! 7 sacks and 4 forced fumbles? That's insane! The Eagles need to keep Jared Goff upright and running out of that pocket if they wanna have any chance at slowing down Detroit.

I'm so anxious for this game - it's gonna be such a thrilling matchup 🀩. Fingers crossed the Eagles can pull off the upset and show us what they're really capable of πŸ’ͺ!
 
πŸ€” the Eagles gotta be careful w/ that pass rush unit or Aidan Hutchinson 😬 he's been on πŸ”₯ this season πŸ’¨ so if Philly can keep Goff in the pocket πŸ“¦ they got a shot at containing Detroit's high-scoring attack ⚑️ but on the other hand, Philly's run defense is gonna be put to the test w/ Jahmyr Gibbs & David Montgomery πŸ‘€ gotta see how the Eagles' O-line holds up against all that power πŸ’ͺ
 
πŸ€” I'm tellin' ya, there's more to this game than just the X's and O's... Have you noticed how weird it is that the Lions are having so many injuries at the same time? Three starters in their secondary are out? That's like a recipe for disaster. And what's up with Jared Goff never running with the ball? That sounds like a way to keep him safe from getting sacked, if you ask me. And Aidan Hutchinson is on fire this season, but what if he's just trying too hard? Maybe the Eagles are playing smart and holding onto the ball to avoid his sack attacks. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ
 
πŸ€” I'm still thinking about that game 2 yrs ago when Philly beat KC in Super Bowl LVII πŸˆπŸ‘€. Eagles defense was on fire that day πŸ’₯! Now, they gotta contain Detroit's Gibbs & Montgomery, those guys are straight up nasty on the ground ⚑️! Also, I wonder what's gonna happen if Hutchinson gets after Goff - that guy's a beast 🐯! And don't even get me started on Philly's O-line, can they keep Goff clean in the pocket? πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈπŸ‘€
 
omg I'm so hyped for dis game!!! 🀩 the lions are gonna blow the eagles away with that crazy offense!! πŸš€ i mean jahmyr gibbs and david montgomery r like unstoppable duos πŸ”₯ but if the eagles can get to goff quick and limit the run game, they might just have a shot at containin that high-powered attack πŸ€”

Aidan Hutchinson tho is straight fire πŸ’₯ i mean 7 sacks and 4 forced fumbles is no joke!! πŸ™Œ the eagles gotta be careful not to get caught slippin on him or it's gonna be a long day πŸ˜…

anyway i'm still rootin for the eagles cuz i just love their squad ❀️ they've been through so much already this season and i know they can pull off another upset 🀞 fingers crossed!! πŸ’«
 
I'm low-key nervous about this one πŸ€”... Philly's defense has been decent but I think Detroit's got too many explosive players to handle. If Montgomery and Gibbs can get going, the Eagles' D is gonna have their hands full 😬. On the other hand, I love Jared Goff's pocket presence and he makes his receivers look good when they're open... Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams are gonna be huge for Detroit if they can stay healthy 🀞.
 
<3 I'm low-key nervous about this one lol πŸ€”πŸˆ

So, Eagles need to bring their A-game (no pun intended) if they wanna contain that Detroit offense πŸ”₯πŸ’¨ They gotta be super aggressive with the pass rush and make sure Hutchinson can't get to Jared Goff too easily 😬

And on the other side, Lions need to figure out how to slow down that Eagles run game πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈπŸš« 'Cause if they do, it's gonna be a looong day for Philly ⏰

I'm thinking a tight game, lots of turnover potential, and maybe even some crazy comebacks πŸ”„πŸ’₯
 
idk why ppl still watch nfl lol its like americans are addicted to smashing into each other πŸ’€ anywayback to detroit lions they have crazy fast backs in gibbs & montgomery but eagles defense is decent maybe they can slow them down πŸ€” another thing the lions have a weak secondary which eagles will try to exploit by targeting their receivers πŸ‘€ and oh man aidan hutchinson is like a superhero on the field πŸ¦Έβ€β™‚οΈ hope the eagles can hold onto the ball so he doesnt destroy them πŸ˜…
 
I think the Lions are going to struggle on defense if they're missing three starters - that's a lot of holes to fill! And yeah, Philly's run D is gonna be key, gotta shut down Gibbs and Montgomery ASAP. They can't let Detroit control the clock like they did last time around. On offense, Jared Goff's gotta do better than just rely on his RBs to make plays... I mean, how many QBs try to pass the ball when their main rusher is injured? πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ Meanwhile, Philly's got some great recs in St. Brown and Williams, so if they can get them open, it could be a big day for the Eagles! And can't forget about Aidan Hutchinson - that dude's got skills, but I think Philly's OL is gonna do alright holding onto the ball... 😎
 
OMG u gotta love this matchup 🀩! Eagles vs Lions is gonna be EVERYTHING πŸ”₯! Philly's D-line needs to bring their A-game if they wanna take down Detroit's explosive offense πŸš€. Those runbacks Jahmyr Gibbs & David Montgomery are FAST πŸ”ͺ, so the Eagles gotta buckle up! But on the flip side, Detroit's secondary is HURTING πŸ’”, and if Philly can get to Amon-Ra St Brown & Jameson Williams, it'll be a W for Foles πŸ™Œ. Aidan Hutchinson tho... he's the real MVP 🀯 with 7 sacks already! Eagles gotta protect their QBs or they're in BIG trouble 😬. Either way, this one's gonna be EPIC πŸŽ‰!
 
I think the Eagles are going to get destroyed by the Lions 🀯. I mean, have you seen Detroit's offense? It's like a high-octane rocket ship blasting off into orbit! They're gonna leave Philly in the dust. The Eagles' run defense is gonna be all over the place if they can't stop Gibbs and Montgomery from running wild. And let's not forget about Hutchinson - that dude is a force to be reckoned with on the pass rush. I'm talking 4th quarter collapse, guys! The Eagles just don't have the firepower to take down the Lions' high-powered attack πŸ’₯
 
i think detroit's passing game is gonna be super tough for philly to handle lol 🀯🏈
if jared goff can get his receivers involved, i think they'll put up some crazy numbers πŸ“Š
but philly's pass rush has been on point lately 🚨 so hopefully they can keep goff off balance
on the other hand, detroit's run defense is kinda weak 😐 if philly can pound out yards, it could be a big day for jahmyr gibbs and david montgomery
i'm still gonna pick philly tho lol πŸ‘πŸˆ
 
πŸ€” The Eagles are gonna need to step up their game if they wanna take down the Lions' potent offense! πŸ”₯ I think it's safe to say that Philly's run defense is gonna be put to the test, especially with those two backs, Gibbs and Montgomery πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ. If the Eagles can get some pressure on Goff, it could limit Detroit's scoring opportunities ⚠️. But if they can't contain Hutchinson, all bets are off! 😬 The Lions' secondary is a major concern too - 3 starters out, that's gotta be tough for them πŸ€•. So, this one's gonna be a real nail-biter! πŸ’₯
 
πŸ€” I think Philly's gonna need to bring their A-game if they wanna stop that Detroit offense! The Lions are so explosive on both sides of the ball, it's crazy. And can we talk about how clutch Aidan Hutchinson is? 7 sacks and 4 forced fumbles already this season?! 😲 That Eagles defense gotta be shaking in their boots right now...
