Jalen Carter Named NFC Special Teams Player of the Week After Block That Preserved Eagles' Win

Fresh off shoulder procedures, the defensive tackle flashed postseason-caliber impact with a sack plus a decisive PAT block.

Overview

The NFL honored Carter with the Week 17 NFC Special Teams Player of the Week after his performance against Buffalo.
He blocked Michael Badgley’s extra point in Buffalo, forcing a later two-point try that failed as Philadelphia held on 13–12.
In his return, Carter also recorded a sack and repeatedly pressured Josh Allen, reinforcing his game-changing presence.
The Eagles had evaluated him week to week following procedures on both shoulders that sidelined him for three games.
It is Carter’s first career player-of-the-week award, making him the fourth Eagles player to receive a weekly honor this season.
