According to Elias Sports Bureau, Nick Sirianni became the fifth coach in NFL history — and first in the Super Bowl era — to start 7-2 or better in four of their first five seasons. The others — Paul Brown, Guy Chamberlin, George Halas and Don Shula — are all Hall of Famers.

The Packers lost to the Eagles twice last season, including a 22-10 defeat in the opening round of the playoffs.. To avenge the loss, they'll have to execute in the red zone. The Packers scored just one touchdown in six trips to the red zone last week when they were upset by the Panthers. Kickoff is at 7:15 p.m.

Packers tight end Tucker Kraft suffered a serious knee injury in Green Bay’s loss to the Panthers on Sunday, Packers coach Matt LaFleur announced. “Does not look good,” LaFleur told reporters in Green Bay.

The Athletic's Dianna Russini opened up in a recent interview about the idea that A.J. Brown is frustrated with how the Eagles are using him.

Sunday's battle against the Lions, another NFC heavyweight, is the biggest game remaining on Philly's schedule.

The Detroit Lions are limping in the secondary, have concerns at tight end and want to get their first-round defender more involved.

Two playoff teams and division leaders struggling to generate any kind of offense. The Eagles and Green Bay Packers were scoreless at halftime, had just 3 points combined through three quarters, and were giving new meaning to the phrase "three yards and a cloud of dust."

That schedule is different this week — narrowing the lead-up to one of the most anticipated games of the year: Eagles-Lions, a matchup of two of last season’s best teams and two of this season’s top contenders. With that in mind, let’s wrap up the Eagles-Packers game with eight Eagles thoughts and turn the attention to the Lions game:

Johnico’s favorite memories as an Eagles fan are from the 2017 season, when the team won their first Super Bowl. He was captivated by former Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz’s third-place MVP season and still replays the moment Eagles legend Malcolm Jenkins knocked Patriots wide receiver Brandin Cooks out of the first half.

Philadelphia barely prevailed, moving atop NFC playoff standings, but doesn't gain much separation in this week's power poll.
