With one big fix, 2018 Eagles can be an elite team - NBCSP
The real question is how good is this defense, and honestly, I don’t know the answer yet. Six games in, two things stick out: No. 1, they’re allowing way too many big plays. And No. 2, when they don’t allow a big play, they’re very good. The Eagles have allowed seven plays of at least 45 yards, tied with the Raiders for most in the NFL. It’s also the most they’ve given up six weeks into a season in at least 25 years.
