The Detroit Lions will have one of their most famous super-fans on hand for their Thanksgiving Day showdown against the Green Bay Packers.

Speaking of offense, Dan Campbell took over the playcalling in Motown last weekend and the Lions responded by putting 44 on the board in a 44-22 win over the Commanders. That win coupled with the Packers' loss propelled the Lions into a tie with Chicago atop the NFC North.

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:

The Philadelphia Eagles have no reason to change their play style, as they occupy the No. 1 seed in the NFC at 7-2 after winning the Super Bowl last season. However, star wideout A.J. Brown isn't benefiting individually.

Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell is very familiar with Eagles fans, sharing a story about what happened when he was a visiting player with the Giants.

The Eagles’ defense, allowing 327.9 yards per game, is still among the NFC’s best units. Their pass-rush, led by defensive tackles Jalen Carter and Moro Ojomo, poses a legitimate threat to Goff’s rhythm in the pocket.

Lions head coach Dan Campbell said Eagles fans spit and threw batteries at him in his playing career before the two teams play in Week 11.
