| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to another episode of the Detroit Lions Breakdown podcast. My name is Eric Schlett. |
| 0:07.2 | Unfortunately, I am running solo again this week. Joe's been under the weather. So I am going to |
| 0:13.0 | preview the upcoming Lions game against the Eagles on Sunday night football in week 11. |
| 0:20.7 | Usually we start out our podcast by taking a look back at the previous week's game. |
