Film Breakdown: How the Eagles defense (can) beat the Falcons offense

Last season, Jim Schwartz’s defense held the high-flying Falcons to their lowest output in points and yards (303) in the Eagles’ 24-15 win at Lincoln Financial Field. It was the defensive coordinator’s finest moment from 2016 and it came against a team that was a historic Patriots comeback from winning the Super Bowl.

Schwartz: We were just trying to win each series. Try to find a way to force a stop. They came in as a really high-scoring offense. They were No. 1 in the NFL in scoring. That was really our only focus, is try to limit scoring.
