WATCH: Eagles stop the Lions FIVE TIMES on fourth down

We have officially reached a point where Vic Fangio’s defense is carrying this football team like a bouncer dragging a drunk guy out of Stateside Live.

The Eagles won another low-scoring rock fight on Sunday night, beating the Detroit Lions 16-9 at the Linc in yet another game that will be defined by an absolutely dominant defensive performance.

I don’t care if the offense hasn’t figured shit out yet. When you hold a top-three NFL offense to nine points, bully Jared Goff into submission, and force 0-for-5 on fourth down, that is artwork.

0-for-5 on Fourth Down.

Eagles defense delivers a biblical beatdown on Dan Campbell’s Detroit Lions

Sunday night was the “No Means No on Fourth Down” Game and Dan Campbell learned that message five separate times.

The Lions didn’t just lose on fourth down. They got thrown into an industrial shredder.

Five attempts. Five failures. Five moments where Dan Campbell stared directly at a defense that was eating souls and said, “Nah, I’m good, let’s try again.” It was disrespect. Nakobe Dean said it. And honestly, he’s right.

Here’s how those fourth-down stops went down:

Attempt	Situation	Result
4th & 1, DET 48	Gibbs swallowed whole by Moro Ojomo	Turnover on downs
4th & 2, Fake punt from DET 43	Jalyx Hunt sniffed it out	Turnover on downs
4th & 5, PHI 32	Goff throws an apology into the turf	Turnover on downs
4th & Goal, PHI 3	Jaelan Phillips heat-seeking missile	Turnover on downs
4th & 3, PHI 45	Quinyon Mitchell erases St. Brown	Turnover on downs

This was only the third time since 1991 a team has gone 0-for-5 or worse on fourth down. Two of those belong to Dan Campbell.

Jared Goff came into Philly completing 74 percent of his passes. He left completing 38 percent. He looked like he was throwing with oven mitts on. The Eagles defensive line deleted passing windows from existence:

• 20 QB pressures
• 5 passes batted at the line

Amon-Ra St. Brown, one of the most dominant receivers in football, was targeted 12 times and ended up with 2 catches.

The Eagles are 8-2 and have scored 26 total points in the last two weeks. I don’t know how sustainable this is, but I do know one thing: Thank God for Vic Fangio.
