Eagles

Five questions we have about the Eagles after their comeback win

by Evan Macy

The Eagles defense was absolutely spectacular against Carolina Sunday, almost single-handedly willing the Eagles to victory despite not having a defensive score. Steven Nelson had a clutch interception to ice the game in the fourth after fellow cornerback Darius Slay had two earlier in the game. The special teams unit (not technically the defense but the Eagles didn't have the ball?) blocked a punt in the fourth to set up Jalen Hurts' second touchdown scamper, to put the Birds ahead for the first time. They sacked Sam Darnold three times, and held the Panthers offense to just 262 yards from scrimmage.
