The Detroit Lions defense stepped up on "Sunday Night Football" to keep the reigning Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles under wraps, even with key starters like Terrion Arnold and Kerby Joseph sidelined due to injury.

The Birds' dominating defense fueled Sunday night's win against the Detroit Lions. Next up is the Dallas Cowboys.

This is a rematch of the Jan. 5 NFC divisional round game where the Commanders shocked the top-seeded Lions with a 45-31 upset win at Ford Field, ending Detroit's Super Bowl aspirations. The Lions hope to exact revenge on Washington's home turf, though with the stakes lowered in this regular-season affair.

The Detroit Lions got back at it after the bye week with the Minnesota Vikings in town. Sunday's game had some high points. The Lions wasted no time getting on the board in a big way. On a 4th and 4 early in the first quarter, quarterback Jared Goff hit tight end Sam LaPorta for a 40-yard touchdown to quickly go up 7-0.

As it currently stands, the Browns would hold the No. 5 pick and the No. 19 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Quarterback Dillon Gabriel's opportunities are dwindling as well. Who knows how long it will be before the Browns rip the chord and either focus on a quarterback this upcoming April or stick Shedeur Sanders into the starting lineup.
