Despite continuing to rank near the top of the lead in sacks, the Eagles haven’t exactly been a defensive powerhouse this year. In recent weeks, the reinforcements have caved in and with injuries piling up, the secondary has been battered and bruised.

Jim Schwartz had never had a lockdown cornerback in Philadelphia, but did he live up to the billing?
Ahead of week 17, the Eagles’ secondary is in shambles.
