Philadelphia Eagles Week 8 preview: Ron Jaworski on Detroit Lions, NFL trade deadline -- matchups, prediction, players to watch

Eagles-Lions game preview: Why the Birds shouldn't look past Detroit. Should Gardner Minshew start and are more trades on the way?

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Looking to snap a two-game losing streak, the Philadelphia Eagles travel to Detroit to face the winless Lions.

Last week the Birds fell to the Raiders, 33-22, in a game that wasn't as close as the score would indicate.

While the Lions have yet to win a game, they have been competitive in several games. Plus Detroit has taken the last three in the matchup vs. the Eagles, so the Birds shouldn't take this team lightly.

Ron Jaworski says to expect gimmicks and gadgets with the Lions desperate to end an 11-game losing streak.

Jaws breaks down the matchup, whether it's Minshew Mania time, and if more trades are on the way in this week's Three and Out.
