NFL scores: Lions make huge statement with win at Packers, Eagles hold on for win vs. Jaguars
The Lions have staked their claim to being the best team in the NFC, and maybe the NFL
Here's a sentence that hasn't been uttered much over the past several decades: The Detroit Lions are the clear-cut top team in the NFC. After a 24-14 win at Lambeau Field, which has been a house of horrors for the Lions over the past 30 years the Packers are now 25-6 at Lambeau Field against the Lions since 1994. Jared Goff was, once again, very efficient going 18-for-22 for 166 yards and a touchdown in some soggy and windy conditions in Green Bay. The Lions rolled up 124 rushing yards as they improved to 7-1 on the season and in position for the first-round bye in the NFC.
In Philadelphia, the Eagles held off a comeback attempt by the Jacksonville Jaguars for a 28-23 win. DeVonta Smith (four catches, 87 yards, TD) and Saquon Barkley (27 carries, 159 yards, TD; three catches, 40 yards, TD) turned in some ridiculous highlights in the win. Philadelphia lead 22-0 with under six minutes to go in the third quarter.

DeMarcus Robinson beats the Seahawks in overtime with this ridiculous one-handed grab
There are no and-1s in Football, but there could have ben a flag thrown on this play. Regardless, this DIME from Matthew Stafford gets the Rams to 4-4, just a half game back of the division-leading Arizona Cardinals.

Packers cut into Lions lead late
Green Bay still has some life, but they're got lots of work to do — Emanuel Wilson cut the lead in half with this touchdown before Jordan Love connected with Christian Watson for the two-point conversion to make it a 10-point game with under four minutes to go.

Well that flipped fast in Philadelphia. Saquon Barkley just fumbled on the Eagles' first play of the drive, and Walker ran it back 35 yards for a touchdown. Suddenly, the Jaguars are within a single score.

Jordan Love with a terrible pick-6 to Kirby Joseph
This one could be caused by Love's inability to move like he wants because of the groin injury, but just an incredibly poor decision, and Kirby Joseph's league-leading sixth interception on the season is a Lions' touchdown, and Detroit now leads 17-3.

The Cardinals are in control against the Bears
Arizona has been quietly hanging around .500, and can get to 5-4 with a win over Chicago and stay connected in the NFC playoff picture. They look like they're on their way now after Emari DeMercado's 53-yard touchdown to put the Cardinals up 21-9 at the end of the first half.

Saquon Barkley, AGAIN!
A 3rd and 17 draw play is often a safety call to get in better position for a field goal or punt. But apparently Saquon Barkley isn't too into punts, or what would have been a field goal try in this case. He's got another game with multiple scores today against Jacksonville, and Philadelphia is out to a three-score lead heading toward halftime.
Hand it off to @Saquon on 3rd and 17, score touchdowns.

Lions Brian Branch ejected for hit on Bo Melton
Branch was flagged for a personal foul on the play, and replay officials in New York determined that he would be tossed for the hit. And while leaving the field, Branch was flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct and the two 15-yard penalties gave Green Bay 30 yards of free field position.
