PHILADELPHIA – It was an uncharacteristic night for the Detroit Lions' usually high-powered and high-scoring offense.
Detroit struggled to maintain drives and convert them into points as their issues on third down persisted in a 16-9 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.
Detroit entered the game 21st on third down converting just 37.5 percent of the time. They were 3-for-13 (23.1 percent) on third down against the Eagles and 0-for-5 on fourth down.
Head coach Dan Campbell took an aggressive approach to Sunday's game, going for it five times on fourth down, but Detroit failed to convert one, which ended up being the biggest difference in the contest.
"There are some things I wish I would have done differently," Campbell said after the game. "If you go totally conservative in the way this game played out and the way it was, you have a better chance of winning that game. Some of those decisions, I understand that. Also, that's who we are. That's who I am. And it bit us today."
The Lions were without tight end Sam LaPorta due to a back injury, and LaPorta is usually a very reliable target on third down. Detroit's other key target on third down, wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown, caught just two of his 12 targets on the night.
Campbell said it wasn't anything unusual from Philadelphia's defense. He chalked Sunday night's offensive performance up to just one of those games where they were a little bit off and could never get it on track consistently.
It was cold and windy Sunday night and even started snowing in the fourth quarter, but Lions quarterback Jared Goff said that didn't really affect the offensive performance.
"We felt like we moved the ball pretty decently at times throughout the game and got down there and stall out a few times and obviously the fourth downs weren't good enough," he said. "Give a ton of credit to them. They are a good defense. We like to think, if we were able to get a fourth down or two, it changes the game and even some of those third downs. But they played well and we weren't even close to up to snuff today."

DEFENSIVE PERFORMANCE
The Lions' defense gave them an opportunity to win the game Sunday.
Detroit's defense allowed only 16 points, and six of those came on sudden change situations following a Goff interception that gave the ball to the Eagles at the Detroit 11-yard line and another on a failed fourth down try at Detroit's 43-yard line.
The defense held Philadelphia to just one touchdown and less than 300 yards of total offense (272) as Philadelphia was 4-for-15 on third down, 0-for-1 on fourth down and just 1-for-3 in the red zone.
"Defense, I thought, really, really played their tails off," Campbell said. "I thought they showed up and played championship style defense. They had to put out a number of fires there between the takeaways and the fourth down stops."
POOL REPORT
The Eagles essentially ended the game when cornerback Rock Ya-Sin was flagged for pass interference on a 3rd & 8 call with the Lions down a touchdown trying to get the ball back with no timeouts.
"The official observed the receiver's arm getting grabbed and restricting him from going up to make the catch," referee Alex Kemp said after the game via a pool report from reporter Zach Berman. "So, the ball was in the air, there was a grab at the arm, restricted him and he called defensive pass interference."
GIBBS' NIGHT
Running back Jahmyr Gibbs became the first Lions running back since Reggie Bush (2013) to record 100 receiving yards in a game. Gibbs caught five passes for 107 yards and added 39 rushing yards for 146 total scrimmage yards.
