Warning to NFC East: Eagles defense has also strengthened
The Philadelphia Eagles is 3-0 for the first time in six years. QB Jalen Hurts, the NFL’s third-place passer with 916 yards, and the offense is clicking. Now, the defense, which had three sacks in the first two games, also seems to have increased in strength.
In the Week 3 win over the Commanders, Philadelphia fired Carson Wentz nine times, a culmination of the former Eagle’s career. Wentz felt the pressure from the start. Four of The Eagles’ sacks arrived in the first quarter – the first time they’ve done that since 1991.
