- Drew Brees dropped back to pass 34 times.
Of those 34 plays, the Eagles blitzed 6 times. - Four of those blitzes came in the 1st half, with 2 blitzes in the 2nd half.
- All of those blitzes involved 5 or 6 players.
- The Eagles used only LBs in their blitzing packages. No DBs.
- On each of those six blitzes, the Eagles brought extra pressure up the middle.
- Each of those six blitzes came on 3rd down.
- There were no zone blitzes employed the entire game.
- Every time the Eagles blitzed they showed blitz well before the snap. Very little attempt to disguise their intentions.
- Completed pass, converting a 3rd and short
- Completed pass, failed 3rd and Goal conversion
- Sack/Fumble recovered by Saints
- TD pass to Colston in 1-on-1 coverage
- Completed pass, converting a 3rd and short
- Completed pass, converting a 3rd and 11
So on 28 of Drew Brees' 34 pass attempts the Eagles went with a simple front-four pass rush. And on 26 of those 28 plays the Eagles didn't bother disguising their pass rush, giving Brees a simple 4-man pass rush look at pre-snap.
In week 1 the Lions blitzed on 6% of Brees' 34 dropbacks.
In week 2 the Eagles blitzed on 18% of Brees' 34 dropbacks.
