The Eagles' defensive front is working together after a slow start the season, and now the sacks are coming by the bunches.
Eagles defense piles up sacks vs. Giants QB Daniel Jones and now wants more: ‘It’s coming to fruition’
A few feet away, Carter found his former Georgia teammate flexing in celebration. The defensive tackle pointed his way to give him his props.Even though Carter’s name would show up in the box score on that play, Smith generated the initial pressure on Jones. He beat Giants right tackle Jermaine Eluemunor off the edge and forced the quarterback to step up in the pocket.
That’s exactly what happened early in the first quarter on third-and-6. Giants tight end Daniel Bellinger chip-blocked Sweat, only knocking the outside linebacker off of his path for a moment. Sweat then swatted Ezeudu’s hands down as he barreled toward Jones and brought him down for the first sack of the game.
While Dean registered the first two full sacks of his career, Huff notched his first full sack as an Eagle back in the stadium where he played for four seasons with the New York Jets. Rushing out of a four-point stance, Huff fought through a chip from Giants running back Tyrone Tracy and turned Eluemunor around as he stormed toward Jones.
Their bond as a group has provided the motivation needed to stay patient and diligent for a game like Sunday’s.
