BollywoodFever: After a rocky start to the season, Vic Fangio’s Philadelphia Eagles defense showed exactly why he’s regarded as one of the best defensive minds in football.

Through the first two weeks of the season, the Eagles struggled against the run and tackling, but that changed dramatically on Sunday as they shut down the New Orleans Saints, limiting them to just 219 total yards and a paltry 3.1 yards per carry.

The standout moment of the game came when Reed Blankenship intercepted the Saints, sealing a much-needed victory for the Eagles.

This performance came thanks to key adjustments by Fangio, including the use of more five-man fronts and innovative six-one alignments, which allowed defensive linemen Jordan Davis and Jalen Carter to thrive in their natural positions.

The tactical shifts also unleashed linebackers Zack Baun and Nakobe Dean, who combined for one of the best performances seen from the Eagles’ linebacker group in recent memory.

Fangio’s adjustments were a reminder of his elite defensive expertise, and Sunday’s performance showed that, while the Eagles’ defense may take a few weeks to fully gel, they are in excellent hands moving forward.
