How about that pass defense?

Philadelphia attempted 44 passes and completed 32 for a whopping 73 percent completion percentage. So the pass defense was terrible, right? Nope, it was outstanding. The Eagles amassed only 202 yards through the air with the longest completion being a scant 14 yards. Philly's ANY/A was just 4.55, which is abysmal. That side of the ball is why we won this game.

Agreed, and while the pass rush picked up a tick or two, the play of the linebackers and secondary was stellar.

Was thinking this last night, stat line for Wentz, which some pundits will use as an agenda for his completion %...but who cares...anyway, his longest pass in the air was like 10 yards.
True king...i mean Queen, of dink and dunk.
And our D was ready for those 2 yard out passes.

Only problem now, Mo and church may miss quite some time.

Pass rush still shaky but have to say at the end the guys were bringing the heat and really getting after Wentz.
