Jordan Davis Named NFC Defensive Player of the Week, First Eagle to Earn Both Awards in One Season

Three batted passes in a 16-9 win over Detroit underscored a disruptive night for Philadelphia’s defense.

Overview

  • He finished Week 11 with three passes defensed and one tackle as Philadelphia held Detroit to 3-of-13 on third down, 0-of-5 on fourth and 74 rushing yards.
  • The recognition completes a rare season double for Davis as he previously captured NFC Special Teams Player of the Week.
  • He is the first player in Eagles history to secure Defensive Player of the Week and Special Teams Player of the Week in the same season.
  • Only three others since 2006 have achieved the same feat: Antonio Cromartie (2007), Bryan McCann (2010) and Desmond King (2018).
  • His Special Teams honor came in Week 3 after he blocked a Rams field goal and returned it for a touchdown, and his season totals now sit at 34 tackles, six pass defenses and three sacks.
