A potential NFC championship game preview comes your way in the Week 11 ‘Sunday Night Football’ matchup when the Philadelphia Eagles take on the Detroit Lions.
The Eagles are still trying to figure out the A.J. Brown dilemma. Brown has had an inconsistent season, resulting in some very vocal frustrations following Philadelphia’s ugly Week 10 win over the Green Bay Packers. The star wideout has made it clear that he’s not having a very good time right now.
Recency says that Brown’s frustrations are at least understandable: He’s coming off a two-catch, 13-yard performance vs. the Packers, his first game back after Philadelphia’s bye week and a hamstring issue that forced him out of Week 8 vs. the Giants.
Offense has been something of a pain point for the Lions, as well, albeit on a different level. While Detroit boasts one of the most explosive offensive attacks in the league, head coach Dan Campbell opted to call the plays in Week 10, leading to a 44-point explosion in a win over the Commanders.
That offense is what made the Lions a favorite in the NFC in 2024 – can they keep it rolling against a tough Eagles D on the road?
A pair of division leaders continue to jockey for playoff position in a critical Week 11 prime-time matchup. USA TODAY Sports will provide live updates, highlights and more from the matchup below. All times are Eastern.

Eagles vs. Lions prediction
The Eagles have to figure out the A.J. Brown situation, and fast. While Philadelphia has gotten to a 7-2 record without solving that equation just yet, Brown’s apparent disdain of the offense has made somewhat unwanted headlines and back pages throughout the season. The Lions will get the big-time road win and stay atop the NFC North.
