The defensive line did a fairly decent job in controlling the line of scrimmage against the Eagles’ running game, keeping their running backs under 100 yards. Before leaving the game with an ankle injury, Eddie Goldman did show some activity in pressuring Eagles rookie quarterback Carson Wentz, as well as Akiem Hicks against the run. However, Hicks was flagged with a personal foul penalty.
