The Philadelphia Eagles are struggling for the first time this year against the Detroit Lions. Fletcher Cox added to their misery when he ripped the helmet right off Matthew Stafford’s head on a would-be sack, earning a personal foul penalty.
Truly, Stafford’s lucky to have gotten out of this play without getting hurt.

The 15-yard penalty on Cox put the Lions in scoring range. They capped off the drive with a score two plays later when Stafford hit receiver Marvin Jones for a one-yard touchdown.
This put Detroit up by two touchdowns, 21-7, over Philadelphia.
