The Detroit Lions defense stepped up on "Sunday Night Football" to keep the reigning Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles under wraps, even with key starters like Terrion Arnold and Kerby Joseph sidelined due to injury.

In a 16-9 win that improved the Eagles to 8-2, Philadelphia allowed points on just two of Detroit’s 12 drives. That included stopping the Lions — who had scored on all but one drive last week, while producing 44 points — on downs five times. They fell to 6-4.

Instead, the Lions opted for a fake punt, initiating a direct snap to Stuard right through the heart of Philadelphia’s defense. Unfortunately for Detroit, Eagles defender Jalyx Hunt -- and others -- sniffed out the trickery, stuffing Stuard at the line for no gain.

Dan Campbell knows his aggressive play calling hurt the Detroit Lions in their loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday night.

Lions cornerback Rock Ya-Sin was flagged for a questionable pass interference penalty on the Eagles' final drive, allowing them to seal the victory.

Nakobe Dean was not one to forget what the Lions tried against the Eagles' defense in Week 11's Sunday Night Football matchup.

The Lions voted against the tush push ban in the spring and found success against it in their game against the Eagles on Sunday.
