NFL scores: Lions make huge statement with win at Packers, Eagles hold on for win vs. Jaguars
Here's a sentence that hasn't been uttered much over the past several decades: The Detroit Lions are the clear-cut top team in the NFC. After a 24-14 win at Lambeau Field, which has been a house of horrors for the Lions over the past 30 years the Packers are now 25-6 at Lambeau Field against the Lions since 1994. Jared Goff was, once again, very efficient going 18-for-22 for 166 yards and a touchdown in some soggy and windy conditions in Green Bay. The Lions rolled up 124 rushing yards as they improved to 7-1 on the season and in position for the first-round bye in the NFC.
DeMarcus Robinson beats the Seahawks in overtime with this ridiculous one-handed grab
There are no and-1s in Football, but there could have ben a flag thrown on this play. Regardless, this DIME from Matthew Stafford gets the Rams to 4-4, just a half game back of the division-leading Arizona Cardinals.
Green Bay still has some life, but they're got lots of work to do — Emanuel Wilson cut the lead in half with this touchdown before Jordan Love connected with Christian Watson for the two-point conversion to make it a 10-point game with under four minutes to go.
After completely falling apart at the end of the first half, Matthew Stafford and the Rams opened the third quarter with a long 11-play touchdown drive.
Well that flipped fast in Philadelphia. Saquon Barkley just fumbled on the Eagles' first play of the drive, and Walker ran it back 35 yards for a touchdown. Suddenly, the Jaguars are within a single score.
The Jaguars are finally on the board in Philly. Trevor Lawrence just ran it in for a touchdown, and then he hit Thomas to convert the 2-point conversion. The Eagles' lead is 22-8 now.
The Seahawks took full advantage of an awful end to the half by the Rams. Geno just found Smith-Njigba for their second touchdown in the final minute of the half, and suddenly the Seahawks are up 13-3.
The Seahawks just intercepted Matthew Stafford, too.

Jordan Love with a terrible pick-6 to Kirby Joseph
This one could be caused by Love's inability to move like he wants because of the groin injury, but just an incredibly poor decision, and Kirby Joseph's league-leading sixth interception on the season is a Lions' touchdown, and Detroit now leads 17-3.
Arizona has been quietly hanging around .500, and can get to 5-4 with a win over Chicago and stay connected in the NFC playoff picture. They look like they're on their way now after Emari DeMercado's 53-yard touchdown to put the Cardinals up 21-9 at the end of the first half.
A 3rd and 17 draw play is often a safety call to get in better position for a field goal or punt. But apparently Saquon Barkley isn't too into punts, or what would have been a field goal try in this case. He's got another game with multiple scores today against Jacksonville, and Philadelphia is out to a three-score lead heading toward halftime.
Hand it off to @Saquon on 3rd and 17, score touchdowns.
Branch was flagged for a personal foul on the play, and replay officials in New York determined that he would be tossed for the hit. And while leaving the field, Branch was flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct and the two 15-yard penalties gave Green Bay 30 yards of free field position.
He's got everything but a touchdown with 6:30 left in the second quarter. Jacobs is already over 100 total yards for the game.

Early in the second quarter, Jacobs is already over 75 yards in awful weather conditions in Green Bay.
Detroit got inside the Green Bay 5-yard line and on a 4th down gamble Jared Goff hit Amon-a St. Brown for the score. The Lions have now scored touchdowns on each of their last eight trips inside the red zone.
Trey McBride gets the Cardinals on the board first with a touchdown run. Not only is it his first career rushing touchdown, it's the first rush of his NFL career. Not bad coming out of National Tight End Day last week.
Trey McBride holds off the defender and reaches over the pylon for a @AZCardinals TD!
