DETROIT - Bill Davis spent Thanksgiving searching for solutions at Ford Field.
"I blitzed on almost half the calls," the Eagles defensive coordinator said. "I blitzed a lot more than I have in the last couple of weeks. We had doubles, we had brackets, we moved in and out of coverages."
One glimpse at the final score - Detroit Lions 45, Eagles 14 - told you that none of it worked. After forcing a three-and-out on the Lions' opening drive, the Eagles' defense surrendered five touchdowns and a field goal without getting a single stop on Detroit's next six possessions.
