It’s tough to say that defense won Super Bowl LII for the Eagles in February – after all, it was a 41-33 victory over New England – but it’s fair to say that a huge play defensively made the difference. Brandon Graham’s strip-sack of quarterback Tom Brady and Derek Barnett’s recovery set up Jake Elliott for a field goal to give the Eagles that eight-point lead that, you know, the Eagles held in the closing minute.
Clearly, the team believes the defense was a target area for this offseason, and target the defense the Eagles have done.
