The Philadelphia Eagles and the Detroit Lions will face off on Sunday in a big Week 5 game in the NFL regular season. The Lions will host this one at Ford Field in Detroit, with the game being assigned a start time of 1 p.m. ET. The game can be watched on TV on the Fox network or online through live stream via the link below.

The Lions dropped to 1-3 last week with a bad defeat against the poor Chicago Bears. It is games like that which the Lions need to win if they are to have any chance at making the postseason, but once again last week the Lions offense looked toothless and the defense at times looked out of sorts.

Detroit will return home for today's game and they will be hoping that home field advantage can spark them back into life and allow them to claim just their second win of the season today to move to 2-3.

The Eagles meanwhile didn't play last week and come into today's game with a perfect 3-0 record still intact. The last time they played was in Week 3 when they hosted the Pittsburgh Steelers and swept them aside 34-3.

The Philadelphia defense was too much for the Steelers as the Eagles almost completely shut them out to gain an easy win.

They will want to continue that same form today, and will be confident that if they can maintain the intensity they showed against the Steelers then they should be too good for this struggling Lions team.

Earlier this week on NFL Thursday Night Football the Arizona Cardinals gained a valuable road win over the San Francisco 49ers.

Both teams entered the clash on 1-3, and both knew that they were facing almost must-win situations to salvage their seasons.

Following a tense first half the teams were level on 7-7, but the second half saw the Cardinals turn the screw and they pulled away to win the encounter 33-21.

The result moved the Cardinals onto a much more respectable 2-3 although they still have a lot more work to do over the coming few weeks to get themselves back into postseason contention. The 49ers meanwhile suffered their fourth defeat of the season in just five weeks and that leaves their season more or less in tatters. It's hard to see how they can turn their season around from here, and already it may be more about re-building for next season than having any realistic chance of making a run for the Playoffs this year.

Arizona managed to claim 17 points from three turnovers by the 49ers in the game, including two interceptions by Blaine Gabbert as well as a a fumble kickoff return by Chris Davis.

49ers coach Chip Kelly said after the game: "I don't think anybody played well on offense. Nobody. I don't think we protected well enough, I don't think we threw it well enough and we had too many drops and two interceptions."

Meanwhile, defensive lineman Calais Campbell said, "We've been saying all week it just starts with one. Just get one win and try to stack them. We've been a team in the past that can rip off a bunch of them. ... Now we have to figure out what we can do to keep that ball rolling."
