C.J. Gardner-Johnson is the engine that makes the Eagles defense go and he spent all week talking about redemption after getting ejected in Philadelphia’s 36-33 loss to Washington in Week 16. With Dallas on a solid first drive, Gardner-Johnson ended a seven play, 35 yard Cowboys drive that ate up 3:17 on the clock with a dazzling 70 yard interception for a huge touchdown.
Gardner-Johnson literally sat there in that zone the entire time, to protect against the inside slant, and showed zero man coverage. Don't throw that ball there.
He threw that ball there.
69-yard pick-six.

C.J. Gardner-Johnson was looming in that lane all along.
