The New Orleans Saints present the worst-possible matchup right now for the struggling Philadelphia Eagles defense. That’s the grim reality we’ve all been living in since the fourth-quarter collapse against the Atlanta Falcons on Monday night.

Now, New Orleans takes on a Philadelphia defense that's loaded with talent but has underachieved in their results. The Eagles rank 27th in points allowed and 30th in total yardage. It's still early, but it's also been a steep drop from two years ago when the Eagles were near the top of the NFL in nearly every defensive category.
