Previewing Eagles vs. Lions matchups, analyzing the NFC East, and much more

The Philadelphia Eagles have a pretty important game this week. Call it a must-win, if you must, because dropping to 1-2 with a Thursday night road game in Green Bay coming up would not be very good!

In order to preview this week’s Eagles opponent — the Detroit Lions — I got together with my good friend, PhillyVoice writer, and BGN Radio co-host Jimmy Kempski. You can listen to our conversation about everything going on with the Eagles below:
