Boston Scott and Jordan Howard each had two touchdowns on the ground, helping the Eagles end a two-game losing streak by defeating the Lions, who now head into their bye week as the NFL's only winless team.
The Lions go into their bye week as the NFL's only winless team. The break gives first-year coach Dan Campbell extra time to figure out how to avoid leading the league's first 0-17 team after being a tight end on the first 0-16 team in Detroit 13 years ago.
Scott broke a scoreless tie late in the first period with a 1-yard run and and Howard's 4-yard run late in the second quarter put Philadelphia up 17-0. They each had a short touchdown run in the third quarter and finished with 117 yards rushing combined. The offensively challenged Lions avoided a shutout midway through the fourth quarter when rookie Jermar Jefferson scored on an 8-yard run for his first NFL touchdown.
Goff was sacked a season-high five times and finished 23 of 34 for 222 yards. The sixth-year quarterback and many of his teammates made mental mistakes, including when he threw a ball away in the third quarter on fourth down instead of throwing toward a receiver with nothing to lose.
