The Philadelphia Eagles are 6-0 because of Jalen Hurts. But also because of the team's secondary.

This season, Philadelphia has 14 forced turnovers, with nine of those interceptions from players in their rebuilt secondary.

“It’s been great for them boys because we had it, but we ain’t had it like this in a long time,” said Brandon Graham of the playmaking ability on the backend. “We stay healthy, we can do some great things. We just have to stay on the same page.”

The secondary has been a big part of why the Eagles have the best turnover ratio by a wide margin at plus-12. The next closest team is at plus-4.

“Obviously we have really talented players,” said Jonathan Gannon. “They're going to make a lot of plays that a lot of guys don't make or can make because they have a lot of talent. They take the film work and the coaching to the practice field, and it carries over to the game field. When they get chances to make plays, they make them. It's really helped our team.”

The downside is that three of the four starters in the secondary have expiring contracts, and that will make for some tough decisions down the road.

But regardless, the Eagles are winning with defense. And the team is better for it.
