Philadelphia could not get anything going on either side of the ball throughout the contest. Their defense has been coming together over the last few weeks and some of that has been because of the play from their cover corner Darius Slay, who shut down Amari Cooper last week.

Calvin Johnson scored three touchdowns to lead the Detroit Lions to a 45-14 win over the Philadelphia Eagles at Ford Field in the National Football League this evening. Mark Sanchez was poor in relief last week with three interceptions so when we watch the Eagles Lions Thanksgiving game live streaming or on TV today, Philly fans will be pulling for Bradford to play.
For the seventh straight season Johnson reeled in a Thanksgiving touchdown. He was injured chasing Detroit running back Joique Bell on a 6-yard rush toward the sideline.
The Lions haven’t lost since a front-office shakeup after getting blown by Kansas City in London. His growth and development, I mean, every single year you look at his body physically.
Kelly said coordinator Bill Davis will remain in charge of the defense and added that he still has confidence in the roster he assembled in a tumultuous offseason of change. The Eagles’ passing defense has improved over the year, but they are far more susceptible to the pass on the road than they are at home. “That’s what you’re seeing now”.
On paper, this should be a relatively routine win for the flawless Panthers against a Dallas team that lost seven in a row before last weekend. They have won three straight by a combined score of 119-41. “I believe in this group of guys”, said Davis, who is in his third season with the Eagles. Brady surely had an enjoyable Thanksgiving, knowing he could do a whole lot more carving next Sunday. When you win convincingly like we won today it makes it extra sweet.. The Lions have a very talented running back in rookie Ameer Abdullah, the biggest issue for him has been ball security.
“I think we all take accountability”, Kelly said. According to oddsmakers from online sports book Mybookie.ag, Detroit is a 2.5-point favorite for today’s Thanksgiving Day matchup, while the total now sits at 46 points. Ansah gave the Eagles’ reshuffled offensive line fits, as he notched 3 1/2 sacks and forced a Mark Sanchez fumble, which he also recovered. Tate was wide open and had absolutely no problem trotting in the end zone to increase the Lions lead to 14-7. “I’m a coach, not a player, so it starts with me”. This is really good news for Matthew Stafford and Calvin Johnson, who were unable to put a touchdown on the scoreboard this week.

That’s when the Lions took control, making it 24-7 with 12 seconds left in the first half before putting the game away on a 7-minute, 51-second drive to start the third quarter. Peters suffered a left ankle injury on the Eagles’ first drive and did not return.
