Jordan Davis Named NFC Defensive Player of the Week, First Eagle to Earn Defensive and Special Teams Honors in One Season

Three batted passes against Detroit underscored a breakout stretch built on disruptive line play.

Overview

  • Davis earned the Week 11 award after swatting three Jared Goff passes in the win over the Lions.
  • He previously took NFC Special Teams Player of the Week in Week 3 for a game-winning blocked field goal returned for a touchdown against the Rams.
  • One tipped pass led to a Cooper DeJean interception that set up a short Jake Elliott field goal.
  • The three pass deflections tied the most by any player in a game this season, and Davis is tied with Cameron Heyward for the most by a defensive lineman this year with six.
  • Through Week 11 he has 3 sacks, 33 tackles, 10 quarterback pressures, and a 61% snap share, and he is under contract through 2026 after the fifth-year option, with a long-term extension being discussed.
