The defense looked incredible against a good Minnesota offense.

Case Keenum was a train wreck against the Eagles defense, turning the ball over three times and just struggled all night to work in the red zone. The onslaught was ferocious and they forced Minnesota to abandon the run game early and become one dimensional.

One of the keys the Eagles have on their defense is the rotation that they use. While the Jacksonville Jaguar’s defense has a fierce pass rush of its own, they lean heavily on their starting players.

Philadelphia has seven different defensive linemen that can start on other NFL teams. The key to this defense is the rotation of the linemen keeping fresh bodies in the game. The Jaguars defense simply ran out of gas at the end of the AFC Championship against the Patriots. The chances of Philadelphia having the same issue is very slim.
