Vic Fangio emphasizes tackling as Eagles prepare for Bears on Monday

Philadelphia Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio stressed the importance of tackling over forcing turnovers ahead of their matchup against the Chicago Bears on Monday night. Fangio expressed concern that players may be too eager to create takeaways, leading to missed tackles and poor execution of defensive assignments. He highlighted a recent situation where defenders failed to recognize a run threat on third-and-22 against the Titans and underscored the need for situational awareness and discipline. Fangio is confident that a focus on fundamentals will naturally lead to more turnovers as the Eagles aim to improve their defensive performance.
