Week 5 opponent: What the Eagles are saying

Every week during the regular season, the opposing head coach and one player speak to the Detroit media via conference call. This week it was Eagles head coach Doug Pederson and linebacker Stephen Tulloch.

So, what are the Eagles talking about this week?

1. Pederson, who runs the offense as head coach, admitted that former Lions head coach and current Eagles defensive coordinator, Jim Schwartz, deserves quite a bit of the credit for Philadelphia's stellar play on defense thus far. Philadelphia currently ranks first in the NFL in points allowed (9.0). Pederson loves the aggressive style Schwartz has brought to the defense.
