Overview
- Patterson said “the film don’t lie” and argued opponents are consistently devoting extra blockers to Lawrence.
- He specified that Philadelphia doubled Lawrence on 29 of 40 plays and noted outside tracking lists him as the NFL’s most double-teamed player this season.
- Lawrence’s output has dipped to a half-sack and four quarterback hits in eight games after nine sacks and 16 hits in 12 games last season.
- Patterson referenced team research asserting double-digit sack seasons are rare for full-time nose tackles, last seen in the 1980s.
- The exchange comes as New York’s run defense ranks near the bottom with 5.7 yards per carry allowed and a 276-yard rushing day by the Eagles, and Lawrence earlier called Banks’ assessment “delusional.”
