Three days after the Philadelphia Eagles gave up 52 points in a blowout loss to the Denver Broncos, defensive coordinator Billy Davis declared that he saw progress from his young unit. Back then, the Eagles were on pace to allow more yards than any team in NFL history, and they ranked last in most major defensive categories. But Davis saw something nobody else saw, and a little over a month later, the Eagles' defense has stabilized to the point where it is now the strength of the team. After giving up an average of 28 points in its first four games, the Eagles have allowed 18 per game in the last four outings.
