With their win last night, the Philadelphia Eagles surpassed the Washington Commanders and moved into first place in the NFC East.

As a result, the Eagles now sit second in the NFC. Detroit Lions. The Lions hold the NFC’s best 8-1 record and are considered the best team in the conference by many experts.

Speaking on FS1’s ‘Facility’ program on Thursday, the former lions Backup quarterback Chase Daniel explains why he’s taking the job lions We went head to head with the Eagles.

“The best team in the NFC is undoubtedly the Detroit Lions,” Daniel said. “I don’t care about Jared Goff’s five interceptions, I don’t care about them barely beating a team they were supposed to beat. I don’t care about that. To me, Philly isn’t battle tested, and I would say Philly doesn’t really have a quality win.”

Although the Eagles lack a real victory Thursday He can get there. By defeating the Commanders, they dominated defensively against Rookie of the Year favorite Jayden Daniels.

The Lions, meanwhile, have road wins against Arizona and Houston, as well as a pair of division opponents in the playoff picture.

Still, Daniel believes: lions to have a much more well-rounded resume of being the best team in the NFC right now.

“When you talk about the hierarchy of the NFC, it’s the Lions and I think it’s everybody else,” Daniel explained. “Because (the Eagles) haven’t shown what they can do against good teams.”

Daniel’s thoughts were shared by former NFL wide receiver TJ Houshmandzadeh. lions NFC is at the top of the food chain. Like Daniel, he addressed the fact that the Eagles didn’t have a signature win.

“They can’t touch the Detroit Lions. Just like my eyes tell me. “You watch these two teams play and it’s not very close,” Houshmandzadeh said. “The Detroit Lions are by far the better football team. When was the last time we saw a team have five turnovers, and because of a Hail Mary it should have been four, had five turnovers and still won the game? That doesn’t happen in the National Football League.” “

Looking at the Lions’ work compared to the rest of the league, Houshmandzadeh said: lions He had no equal in this element. Based on the overall study as well as the eye test, Detroit continued to win public acclaim.

“My eyes tell me the Detroit Lions (the comparison is) it’s not even apples and oranges, it might as well be apples and beans,” Houshmandzadeh said. “The Detroit Lions can run the ball, they can throw the ball. What can the Eagles do? They can do the same thing, but they can’t throw the ball as effectively as the Detroit Lions.”
