2. Eagles defense is ready to lead the team to playoffs
The strength of this Eagles team appears to be the defense going forward and on Sunday, they were strong and looked playoff ready. The Eagles control their own destiny from here on out and the defense will lead the way. The Eagles defense was strong and stopped the Pats from scoring a touchdown on three straight red-zone trips.
The Pass rush was strong, the secondary was active and accountable and Jim Schwartz is starting to find his groove.
The team got stops when it was needed and the defense can’t be the problem going forward.
