The Philadelphia Eagles might not have looked inspiring by any means in their narrow victory against the Green Bay Packers, but hey, as they say, a win is a win. The Eagles got the win against the Packers and now move back to the top of the NFC standings after Week 10 is officially in the books.

The Eagles defense really stepped up in this game, holding the Packers to just seven points and keeping them scoreless until late in the game. Green Bay had multiple chances to make something happen with one of those key moments coming with a minute and a half remaining in regulation. That's when something you don't see very often took place.

On 4th-and-1 on their own 44-yard line, the Packers were preparing to go for it to get their drive going so they could either tie the game or take the lead. Before the ball was snapped, however, defensive tackle Moro Ojomo could see what was about to happen.

Ojomo was heard shouting to his fellow defenders, "Inside zone this way! Inside zone this way!". Sure enough, the Packers ran an inside zone that way and proceeded to fumble the ball, which Philly recovered. While the Packers would get another chance to try and tie the game due to a baffling decision to go for it on fourth down when they didn't need to, this moment was still massive.

It showed that the Eagles were picking up on Matt LaFleur's predictability as a play caller and made his team pay. An absolute clutch moment from Ojomo and the Eagles defense.

While Packers fans will use this as evidence that LaFleur's play calling has become stale and predictable, Eagles fans will use the same clip as proof that their defense remains head and shoulders above the competition. Ojomo picked up what was about to go down, and the Eagles' defense worked together to ensure that the Packers didn't get the first down—just a massive moment from this group.

All in all, this game won't be remembered as a great one from this team by any means, but moments like these are what separate the contenders from the pretenders.
