Less than 24 hours after Georgia entered Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium and dominated the No. 1 ranked Texas Longhorns 30-15, three former Bulldogs helped Philadelphia move to 4-2 with impactful defensive efforts against the New York Giants.
The Eagles’ eight sacks were the most they’ve had in a game since Week 17 of 2022, and Vic Fangio’s defense dominated the New York Giants, 28-3, on Sunday at MetLife Stadium.
Philadelphia has four defensive starters from the University of Georgia, and those guys set the standard in Sunday’s win.
Nakobe Dean led all players with 11 tackles.
The former Georgia All-American middle linebacker added two sacks, two tackles for loss, and four quarterback hits on the afternoon.
That’s a great play by Nakobe Dean. Hat tip to Bryce Huff for the assist too. pic.twitter.com/DvO8XJeqjL

Last week, Jalen Carter told me he had to get more sacks. He did just that today. #FlyEaglesFly pic.twitter.com/eViZipOenl
