"Coordinator Vic Fangio's defense has turned it up since Philadelphia's Week 9 bye, ranking first in opponent completion percentage (51.5%), second in opponent passer rating (67.2) and third in points allowed per game (14.3). Philadelphia limited Las Vegas to 75 total yards last week, marking the fewest yards allowed by a team since 2023. Fangio gave the offense a good bit of the credit in the shutout, noting that it moved the ball and got the run game going."
