To the credit of the Philadelphia Eagles' defense, they have kept the team in games throughout the season, but the Week 6's 34-17 loss to the New York Giants saw a kink in the armor. It only got worse in the coming days after the game.
The defense was banged up in that game, with Jalen Carter ruled out hours before the game and Quinyon Mitchell injuring his hamstring during the Giants match. Even before the game, there were issues at edge rusher with Nolan Smith Jr. and Ogbo Okoronkwo being placed on IR.
