Is there hope for the Eagles’ struggling pass defense? - NBCSP
And one interesting metric regarding pass defense is that despite all their issues, the Eagles are actually 14th-best in the league in yards per pass play. It’s just that they’re so good against the run — No. 1 in the league — that teams are throwing 40.2 passes per game against them, tied for highest in the league. They’ve also allowed only eight passes of 30 yards or more, second-fewest in the league. So quarterbacks are completing a ton of passes but not many deep balls.
