The Eagles defense is currently #32 in the league in yards per game at 419.3. Narrowly edging out the Cowboys and Redskins for the dubious distinction.
However, they have moved all the way up to #21 in points allowed per game at 25.7.
It appears that they are getting better at holding teams out of the endzone, but they are still giving up tons of yardage.
Third down percentage seems to be improving as well, as they are now down to allowing 40% on third down.
Troubling stat of the day..the Eagles are leading the league in defensive penalties, and it's not even close. 76 flags for 642 yards. That's ridiculous.
They're #32 in TOP as well, even if Chip doesn't worry about it.
I get the feeling from watching the games that the defense is improving, but they still got a long way to go.
