Drama isn’t the only thing the Philadelphia Eagles major in. Winning, too.

After another week of discourse and debate, after star wideout A.J. Brown again vented his frustrations about his role and the team’s sagging offense, the reigning Super Bowl champs stifled the Detroit Lions Sunday night, 16-9, in a win that returned the Eagles to the top of the NFC with seven games to go in the regular season.

The offense remains a work in progress. But if Philly’s defense plays like that the rest of the way, a repeat is absolutely on the table.

The Eagles’ opponent in February’s Super Bowl, the Kansas City Chiefs, are going to have a much tougher time making it back. Or even making the postseason at all. That’s because the AFC’s reigning kings may have already been dethroned, and it’s not even Thanksgiving.

Sean Payton’s red-hot Denver Broncos, who along with the New England Patriots are riding league-best eight-game win streaks, are in firm control of the AFC West after Sunday’s 22-19 victory over the Chiefs. Andy Reid’s team has won the AFC West every year since 2016. It seems that stretch is about to end.

“If you wanna be the best, you gotta beat the best,” Broncos quarterback Bo Nix said after the win. “If you’re scared, go to church.”

Nix’s Broncos are now atop the AFC at 9-2. Included in their eight-game win streak: wins over both of last season’s Super Bowl teams, the Eagles and Chiefs. Denver is for real.

In the battle of the NFC West’s top teams, the Los Angeles Rams picked off Sam Darnold four times in a 21-19 victory over the Seattle Seahawks. The Rams, 8-2, are tied with the Eagles for the NFC’s best record, but Philly has the tiebreaker due to a head-to-head win in Week 3.

Just behind the Rams — believe it or not — are the NFC North-leading Chicago Bears, who moved in front of the Lions with another last-second win Sunday.
