Defense On Rise Early In 2015 Season

Bill Davis wants his players to "own" the Eagles' defense, to stake a claim in their territory, to cultivate it and grow it. Three games into this 2015 season, his defense is establishing a foundation and building upon it.

In the aftermath of the Eagles' 24-17 win over the New York Jets on Sunday, and with the focus already on next week's game at FedEx Field against Washington, nobody is gloating. Trust me on that. Progress in this league is measured by the most recent possession, so Davis isn't at all getting ahead of himself. He knows the defense has a lot of work to do.
