NFL Exec: Saquon, Eagles Would Lose 3, 'Maybe 4' Games vs. Lions in a 5-Game Series

In a hypothetical five-game NFL playoff series, there's belief that the Detroit Lions would have the upper hand over the Philadelphia Eagles.

"One game, head to head, yes, the Eagles could win, but if they played five games, Philly would lose at least three of them, maybe four of them," one NFC coach whose team faced the Eagles told Mike Sando of The Athletic.

With the Lions owning a 10-1 record and the Eagles sitting at 9-2, both teams currently occupy the No. 1 and No. 2 spots in the NFC standings.

Detroit has been dominant on both sides of the ball throughout the year, owning the league's top scoring offense and second-best scoring defense.
