After a rough start- the defense recovered

[J12B]

I believe it was after the 2nd touchdown to D. Jackson I saw Sean Lee giving a talk to the defense and they were listening. That seemed to make a difference. A huge difference.

They only gave up a field goal after that talk the rest of the half and shut the Eagles out in the second half. Yes, the Eagles drove the ball a couple of drives but the Dallas defense came up with stops on turnover downs, key plays to force them out of field goal range, and a couple of huge turnovers by Gregory and A. Brown (garbage time interception by Diggs too).

I don't know if it's Lee to give credit to or Nolan.

But the defense played great as a team after a rough start.

Games are a lot more fun to watch when your defense only gives up 17 points the entire game and makes some big plays.

Great job today defense.

Both sides of the ball have been playing pretty good here lately.

For some reason, the Eagles abandoned the run. Sure we played better....but they weren't running the option play that was killing us in the first half.

Typical Doug Pederson playcalling....fortunately.

But you can surely expect Garret & co. to test this run defense next week.

They recovered this game, but I think it was also the eagles shooting themselves in the foot too.

That being said, liked the changed Nolan did(spy on Hurts) and the defense did wake up after the Djaxdouche TD
