Eagles mid-season report card: A tale of two halves for the defense

While the mid-season report card for the Eagles offense might have been difficult to stomach, the second course on the menu should go down a little easier…at least in theory.

It’s time to get your marker pens out once more as we take a closer look at a high-flying unit that is still struggling to get the credit it deserves.
