A Whiteout in Week 14

A Whiteout in Week 14

Only one placekick was attempted—a David Akers extra point try that was blocked by the Eagles.

Calvin Johnson had 49 yards on three receptions, tied for his lowest catch total of the season.

Once conditions began to clear, Tielemans got a better view of the game action.

Jeremy Ross returned a third-quarter punt 58 yards for a score to put the Lions up by two touchdowns.

LeSean McCoy took over in the second half, when he gained 166 of his 217 rushing yards.

With loose footing, leaping was at times a better way to avoid a defender than trying to go around.

McCoy really heated up in the fourth quarter, beginning with this 40-yard TD run.

Tielemans perfectly positioned himself for the two-point attempt after McCoy’s run, an incompletion to tight end Zach Ertz. A questionable Detroit penalty gave Philly a second chance, and Bryce Brown converted.

How special was Jeremy Ross’s day? After the Eagles had tied the game at 14, he ran the kickoff back 98 yards for his second return score of the game.

McCoy’s 217 yards broke Steve Van Buren’s Eagles single-game rushing mark of 205, which had stood since 1949.

Foles threw his first interception of the season but also added a touchdown pass to bring his total to 20.

Chris Polk closed out the scoring with a 38-yard TD run with 2:58 left. (The two-point try failed.)

Both sides gave thanks after the game—and maybe asked for better conditions next time.
