Sure, stating Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Jalen Mills is enjoying a career year may be a bit premature. He’s only played in four games so far this season, but his contribution to a recent defensive turnaround is undeniable.
Before Mills suited up for the first time this season, Philly’s pass defense was among the worst in the NFL. They were allowing 280 passing yards per game and a passer rating of 94.5 by the opposing quarterbacks they were facing, and they allowed 13 touchdowns through the air, all of which were 20th or worse in the league.
