Goedert caught six of his seven targets for 72 yards in Sunday's 44-6 win over the Lions.
The Eagles hardly needed to throw in this one, and when they did, they generally stayed short. As a result, Goedert ended up seeing half his team's targets. In two games since the Zach Ertz trade, the 26-year-old has caught nine of 12 targets for 142 yards and should be among the top tight ends in the league over the rest of the year.
The best outcome for this franchise is Nick Sirianni/Jalen Hurts turning the season around and showing they deserve to be back next season. #Eagles fans should be rooting for a win today.
Gainwell was seen taking snaps after Boston Scott, who is working with the starters in pregame warmups ahead of Sunday's game against the Lions, Josh Tolentino of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
With Miles Sanders (ankle) sidelined for at least three games after landing on injured reserve, more opportunities should open up for both Scott and Gainwell. Though Gainwell has routinely outpaced Scott in snaps and touches in every game this season, the distribution of the work between the two could be more even Sunday. While Scott looks to be trending toward getting the start, that shouldn't be taken as a sign that he'll be the clear No. 1 option out of the backfield. When Sanders was sidelined for the final three quarters of last week's loss to the Raiders, Gainwell played 58 percent of the snaps and logged five carries and six targets, while Scott played 44 percent of the snaps and handled seven carries and two targets. If the Eagles are able to sit on an early lead for most of the game against the winless Lions, a larger dose of Scott on the ground could be on tap, but a neutral or pass-heavy script would seemingly favor Gainwell.
Josh Sweat is the first @Eagles player to record 2.0+ sacks in the first quarter of a game since Connor Barwin on 12/6/15 at New England. #FlyEaglesFly
Have to feel for Miles Sanders. Plays so well all season and doesn't get enough work. Goes on IR. Eagles go for 200+ rush yards with the RBs up to 4 TDs.
Eagles make Darius Slay and Avonte Maddox captains.
Slay, of course, is returning to where he played for seven years.
Maddox is returning to his hometown. He has a Lions tattoo on his arm.
The Lions flashed their starting lineup on the scoreboard and in place of Jamaal Williams as the second RB they put Godwin Igwebuike, not rookie Jermar Jefferson, fwiw.
Dan Campbell is one of the few coaches you'll ever hear that takes the blame for a game and really means it. It'll take him a couple seasons to undo what was done but players will respect him.
The Detroit Lions will be down one of their two tight ends on the active roster for Sunday’s matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles. Blocking TE Darren Fells is among the inactive players for the Lions in Week 8.
Fells appears to be a healthy scratch. He was not on the injury list during the week. The Lions did call up rookie Brock Wright from the practice squad to help fill the role, though Wright struggled blocking in his NFL debut last week.
Running back Jamaal Williams is also inactive. Williams, the Lions leading rusher, was questionable for the game with a thigh injury. Starting slot CB AJ Parker is also out after being listed as questionable. Parker suffered a neck injury in the Week 7 loss to the Rams and was in and out of practice all week
Tracy Walker says he doesn't believe 0-17 is happening. "But," he adds, "if we don't fix it — if we continue with the same problems — we ain't gonna win a game."
I just watched Trey Flowers try to run off the field late, before spinning back onto the field, before just standing in no-man's land with his hands up in the air and no idea what the hell was happening.

Sounded like some boos for Sheila Ford Hamp when she was introduced. She is not expected to talk at halftime today. Barry is talking, and was roundly cheered when introduced
The Detroit Lions will honor linebacker Chris Spielman at halftime of Sunday’s game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Spielman, who played linebacker for the Lions from 1988-1995, will be inducted into the Pride of the Lions.
It’s a well-deserved honor for Spielman, who now works for the Lions as a special assistant to owner Sheila Ford Hamp. And it’s one I am thrilled about personally.
Spielman is my football hero. Growing up in northern Ohio and coming of football age in the 1980s, Spielman was already a legend for me from his high school days in Massillon. At Ohio State, he cemented himself as the embodiment of how football was meant to be played: passionate, smart, physical, relentless. I was in high school in Columbus while he played for the Buckeyes, so it was very easy to fall in football love with the awesome No. 36 in scarlet and grey. It’s still the Ohio State jersey I own and I’m not even a Buckeye fan. It’s about Spielman
