Eagle Eye: It's All About Protection

It goes without saying that the Eagles had their most productive offensive performance of the season on Sunday afternoon against the New Orleans Saints. There were a lot of key factors for this, but the biggest difference was execution. The offensive line played at a higher level for 60 minutes than at any point so far this fall. There were still some drops here and there, but there was improvement in that area from the pass catchers. Aside from two red zone interceptions, quarterback Sam Bradford was largely accurate on the day. That all resulted in the team moving the ball much more consistently on Sunday, as they tied a team record in first downs and, aside from the two turnovers, were able to finish drives.
