You may have been surprised by the positivity in the Eagles-Cowboys offense breakdown, but you won’t see as much positivity in this one. It wasn’t great. Let’s get into why.
Defense
Firstly, before we look at some bad stuff, it’s worth noting that it wasn’t all bad. I actually thought the defense played reasonably well on early downs, and it turns out I was right! But what is the point of being good on early downs when you are SO bad on 3rd down?! This Eagles’ defense is just flat-out terrible on 3rd and 4th down.
