The Philadelphia Eagles squared off with the Green Bay Packers last night, pulling away with the victory in what quickly became yet another one-sided affair. The clear focal point of this one was undoubtedly Sam Bradford and the offense, but lost in the shuffle was the defense and special teams units, who showed promise in their own right.
Throughout the preseason the Eagles defense has been exceptionally strong at the point of attack, controlling the line of scrimmage and smothering opponents’ rushing attacks. Last night was no exception, as the Eagles’ core front-3 of Cox-Logan-Thornton continues to impose its will on opposing offensive fronts.
