Jim Schwartz says Eagles’ defensive turnaround against Giants was biggest he has seen

Jim Schwartz became a defensive coordinator in 2001 with the Tennessee Titans, and has worked in the NFL ever since. Not much happens that he hasn't seen before — even something like the Eagles' extraordinary flood of defensive injuries, which left them down five corners and a starting safety Sunday. Ask him if that is unique, and Schwartz can reach back into the memory banks to pull out some similar challenge he once faced.

But against the Giants Sunday, the Eagles gave up 346 yards in the first half, the most any Eagles team has allowed in a half in more than a quarter-century.
