The Philadelphia Eagles' defense came under scrutiny following their Week 2 performance against the Tennessee Titans on September 20 at Nissan Stadium. While the Titans scored 20 points, including 7 from an interception, the Eagles' defense allowed 5.7 yards per play, raising concerns about tackling and reaction times. Despite some strong individual performances, particularly from players like Jalyx Hunt, the overall defensive efficiency was questioned, particularly against the run and outside zone plays. The Eagles aim to address these issues in upcoming practices.
