"I had my pom-poms out and I was cheering them on. Kept saying one more first down and they kept getting it. It was really a great job by them."

Since Week 6, Philadelphia leads the NFL in defensive points allowed
per game (13.6), total defense (239.5 ypg), passing defense (147.9 ypg),
three-and-out percentage (43.3%), sacks (33) and FFs (12).
The Eagles have no more than 20 defensive points allowed in 10 consecutive games, which marks the longest active streak in the NFL. It is
the longest single-season streak by any NFL team since Baltimore in
2019, and it is Philadelphia’s best run since 2001 (14 games).
The Eagles have also held opponents to fewer than 225 passing yards
in 10 straight games, which is the club’s longest streak since 1979 (also
10). Overall, it is the 3rd-longest streak in single-season franchise history, trailing only the 1951 (12) and 1974 (11) campaigns.
Zack Baun ranks 3rd in the NFL with 133 tackles, behind Zaire Franklin
(144) and Budda Baker (142). Baun is the first NFL player to post 125+
tackles, 4+ FFs (T-2nd in the NFL, behind T.J. Watt - 6), 3.0+ sacks (3.5)
and 2+ takeaways in a season since Shaquille Leonard in 2018.
Dating back to Week 6, Baun (91.5) and Nakobe Dean (85.4) rank 1st
and 2nd, respectively, among NFL LBs in PFF defensive grade.
Jalen Carter ranks 3rd among NFL interior DL in PFF pass-rush grade
(83.2), behind Chris Jones (90.7) and Cameron Heyward (86.6).
Quinyon Mitchell, who ranks 2nd in the league with 14 forced incompletions, has permitted the 5th-fewest yards per coverage snap (0.70)
among NFL CBs (min. 500 coverage snaps), according to PFF
