Baun forced two fumbles and recovered another at Dallas as he continues to thrive with his new team and playing a new position.
Eagles linebacker Zack Baun celebrates after recovering the fumble in the third quarter while playing the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday, Nov. 10, 2024, in Arlington, Texas.ARLINGTON, Texas — In the aftermath of Nakobe Dean’s game-sealing interception against the Jacksonville Jaguars last week, Zack Baun celebrated as if he made the pick himself, just as he does for all of his partner’s big plays. But the jubilation between the Eagles’ starting inside linebacker duo didn’t last long.
With Cooper Rush at the helm of the offense, the Cowboys were riding running backs Ezekiel Elliott and Rico Dowdle on the series, combining for five touches for 36 yards on the possession until they reached the Eagles’ 6-yard line. On first-and-goal, Rush handed off to Elliott once again, attempting to run up the middle toward the goal line with the hope of scoring the go-ahead touchdown.
“I know the linebacker room, especially, but the whole defense has just been making it such a point of emphasis in practice, and that’s where everything’s done,” Baun said. “That’s where the block destruction, being able to get on and off blocks, the communication, that’s where it all starts is practice. Just taking those habits into the game. I’m glad we’re seeing things show up in the game.”
