Detroit @ Philadelphia
Team Totals: Lions 22, Eagles 24.5
It took Dan Campbell seizing the team’s play-calling duties from John Morton ahead of Week 10 for the Lions to move back into first place atop the NFC North. Experiencing their highest rates of play-action (48.6%) and pre-snap motion (80%) in the change, it’s worth noting the Eagles have permitted 9.3 yards per attempt (26th) with the fifth-highest EPA/dropback against play-action. Jared Goff, a fringe QB1 for this environment, additionally pummeled the Commanders (for 191 yards and three TDs) on quick throws, and a similar approach would mute Philadelphia’s otherwise ferocious pass rush. … Jahmyr Gibbs mirrored David Montgomery in carries (15) on the surface against Washington but doubled up his teammate in yards from scrimmage (172-71). Gibbs logically has a leg up against this Eagles front seven that’s been carved for a 47.1% Success Rate (28th) on the ground, but there’s always the chance Montgomery falls forward for multiple scores as a matchup-based RB3 in out-carrying Gibbs 8-5 inside the five.
