Jalen Carter played every single defensive snap in the Eagles’ 26-18 win over the Commanders on Thursday.
The Eagles’ defense played 66 snaps in their 26-18 win over the Commanders on Thursday night and Carter played every single one of them.That’s something Fletcher Cox never did in his incredible 12-year career with the Eagles. In fact, NFL snap count data goes back to 2012 and this is the first time an Eagles defensive tackle has ever played 100% of the team’s defensive snaps in a game.
“I mean, I heard about Jalen Carter before I got here but it’s different to see it in person,” linebacker Zack Baun said. “And to play behind it is unreal. He doesn’t always pop out on the stat sheet but he’s always making plays and knocking the O-line back so we can make plays. He’s doing a really good job. All the credit to him and JD and the guys up front.
Carter is the only defensive tackle in the NFL to play 100% of the defensive snaps for his team in a game this season. And his game against the Jaguars ranks second among defensive tackles this season. The next-highest on the list is Christian Wilkins, who played 95.4% of the Raiders’ snaps against the Ravens in Week 2.
• On the edge, Josh Sweat led the way with 45 snaps , followed by Nolan Smith 33 snaps , Brandon Graham 32 snaps and Bryce Huff 14 snaps . After playing 25 snaps in Dallas, rookie Jalyx Hunt didn’t see the field on defense but played 16 special teams snaps.• In his return from Injured Reserve, Jordan Mailata played all 71 offensive snaps against the Commanders. After the game, Mailata said his hamstring held up fine in the game.
