NFL results: Lions make big statement with win at Packers, Eagles hold on to win against Jaguars

Here's a sentence that hasn't been uttered much in recent decades: The Detroit Lions are the clear top team in the NFC. After a 24-14 win at Lambeau Field, which has been a horror house for the Lions over the last 30 years, the Packers are now 25-6 against the Lions at Lambeau Field since 1994. Jared Goff was once again very efficient 18 of 22 for 166 yards and a touchdown in damp and windy conditions in Green Bay. The Lions posted 124 rushing yards, improved to 7-1 on the season and were on their way to a bye in the NFC first round.

In Philadelphia, the Eagles fended off a comeback attempt by the Jacksonville Jaguars and won 28:23. DeVonta Smith (four catches, 87 yards, TD) and Saquon Barkley (27 carries, 159 yards, TD; three catches, 40 yards, TD) delivered some ridiculous highlights in the win. Philadelphia leads 22-0 with less than six minutes left in the third quarter.

  • DeMarcus Robinson beats the Seahawks in overtime with this ridiculous one-handed grab

    There is no And-1 in football, but a flag could have been thrown on this play. Regardless, this DIME from Matthew Stafford puts the Rams at 4-4, just a half-game behind the division-leading Arizona Cardinals.

  • The Lions shut out the Packers with a 24-14 win

  • Kamren Kinchens was the Seahawks' worst nightmare today

    After his 103-yard pick-6, Kinchens again stops a Seattle drive in the red zone.

  • The Packers took a late lead over the Lions

    Green Bay still has some life left, but they still have a lot of work to do – Emanuel Wilson cut the lead in half with that touchdown before Jordan Love connected with Christian Watson for the two-point conversion, making it a 10-point game and even fewer than four minutes.

  • Final: Cardinals 29, Bears 9

    The Cardinals cruised to a commanding 20-point win over the Bears, who had another brutal defensive blunder after last week's Hail Mary failure.

  • Geno Smith Pick-6!

    That's a brutal throw from Geno Smith, and Kamren Kinchens just ran it back 103 yards for a touchdown. The Rams are suddenly up 20-13.

  • DeVonta Smith!

    What a snapshot of DeVonta Smith!! That's a ridiculous one-handed catch for another Eagles touchdown.

  • Well, that's one way to stop an onside kick.

  • AJ Brown is officially out for the Eagles, but they hang on for now in the fourth quarter in Philadelphia.

  • Rams score to start the second half

    After completely falling apart at the end of the first half, Matthew Stafford and the Rams opened the third quarter with a long 11-play touchdown drive.

    The Seahawks now lead 13-10.

  • Jaguars score again!

    Well, that quickly changed in Philadelphia. Saquon Barkley fumbled on the Eagles' first play of the drive, and Walker ran it back 35 yards for a touchdown. Suddenly the Jaguars are only one point away.

  • Jaguars find the end zone

    The Jaguars are finally on the roster in Philly. Trevor Lawrence just scored a touchdown and then hit Thomas for the 2-point conversion. The Eagles’ lead is now 22-8.

  • The Lions extend their lead

    Jahmyr Gibbs just reached the end zone on fourth down and the Lions ran away with this thing in Green Bay.

  • Jalen Hurts brings it into play

    Jalen Hurts just extended the Eagles' lead after a long touchdown run of his own.

  • Seahawks score after Nacua's ejection

    The Seahawks took full advantage of the Rams' terrible halftime finish. Geno just found Smith-Njigba for his second touchdown in the final minute of the half, and suddenly the Seahawks are up 13-3.

  • Puka Nacua was ejected for throwing a punch

    Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua was sent off just before halftime in Seattle. After an interception by Matthew Stafford, Nacua struck.

  • The Seahawks finally find the end zone

    We finally have a touchdown in Seattle. Geno Smith just scored on Tyler Lockett to give the Seahawks the lead before halftime.

    The Seahawks also just intercepted Matthew Stafford.

  • Jordan Love with a terrible pick-6 against Kirby Joseph

    This could be because the groin injury prevented Love from moving the way he wanted, but it was simply an incredibly poor decision, and Kirby Joseph's league-best sixth interception of the season is a touchdown the Lions, and Detroit now leads 17-3.

  • The Cardinals are in control of the Bears

    Arizona has been quietly holding around .500 and can move to 5-4 and stay in the NFC playoff picture with a win over Chicago. After Emari DeMercado's 53-yard touchdown that gave the Cardinals a 21-9 lead at the end of the first half, it looks like they're on the right track.

  • Saquon Barkley, AGAIN!

    A 3rd and 17 draw play is often a safety measure to get into better position for a field goal or punt. But apparently Saquon Barkley isn't particularly into punts, or what in this case would have been a field goal attempt. He has another multi-point game today against Jacksonville, and Philadelphia has a three-point lead at halftime.
