The Eagles have the best defense in the NFL. They allowed the fewest yards and the fewest amount of points during the regular season if you take into account that two of the touchdowns against them came on a blocked field goal return and a lost fumble return.

They’ve been a takeaway machine since their Week 5 bye, forcing 34 turnovers in 16 games, including a league-leading 10 during their three-game playoff run to the Super Bowl.
