Eagles’ four-man rush frequency was tops in the NFL

This is going to shock you, but... the Philadelphia Eagles don’t blitz much. We knew that already, but as Football Outsiders has pointed out, they brought a four-man rush more than any other team in the league last year. There’s several reasons for it; one being their effectiveness at creating pressure without extra help.

“The Eagles were the most frequent user of a four-man rush in 2018 and have been among the leaders each of the last three years. In that time, they have consistently generated pressure without a blitz on about one-third of their opponents’ pass plays.
