Here’s a sentence that hasn’t been uttered much over the past several decades: The Detroit Lions are the clear-cut top team in the NFC. After a 24-14 win at Lambeau Field, which has been a house of horrors for the Lions over the past 30 years the Packers are now 25-6 at Lambeau Field against the Lions since 1994. Jared Goff was, once again, very efficient going 18-for-22 for 166 yards and a touchdown in some soggy and windy conditions in Green Bay. The Lions rolled up 124 rushing yards as they improved to 7-1 on the season and in position for the first-round bye in the NFC.
In Philadelphia, the Eagles held off a comeback attempt by the Jacksonville Jaguars for a 28-23 win. DeVonta Smith (four catches, 87 yards, TD) and Saquon Barkley (27 carries, 159 yards, TD; three catches, 40 yards, TD) turned in some ridiculous highlights in the win. Philadelphia lead 22-0 with under six minutes to go in the third quarter.
