Eagles have learned from mistakes that cost them dearly last year

The Eagles endured a tale of two halves on Sunday. On one hand, they entered the locker room down 20-7, completely unable to get off the field defensively or sustain anything offensively. On the other, 25 second-half points, red zone excellence and defensive domination. What changed?

I think anybody could see that the Eagles were their own worst enemy in the first half. Play calls were questionable, execution was shoddy and the team just seemed lackadaisical. But for many of the starters on defense who spent this offseason recovering from injury, this was their first taste of Football in months.
