Eagles make statement on defense #nfl #sportsnews Detroit Lions at Philadelphia Eagles
PHILADELPHIA -- The Eagles' defense "made a statement" Sunday night, shutting down quarterback Jared Goff and the
normally high-powered Detroit Lions' attack in a 16-9 win that swings the conference odds in Philly's favor.

"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," Eagles defensive tackle Jordan Davis
said. "We went out there and made a stand, made a statement on defense, and I'm very proud of the guys."
Davis had three batted passes, one of which resulted in a Cooper DeJean interception. Davis' former Georgia
teammate, Jalen Carter, added two batted passes.
Their success wasn't by accident. The Eagles gleaned from tape study that they would have opportunities to swat
down some of Goff's passes because he throws at an angle, Davis said. They had a dedicated drill this week,
simulating batted passes, with a defender behind them to haul in the interception.
