description

During a sideline back-and-forth, Eagles linebacker Nakobe Dean — showcasing his football IQ — could be heard discussing one particular play that he anticipated seeing with Jacksonville’s victory hopes on the line: a “stutter-go” route from the running back. Admitting to having studied the Jaguars’ tendencies all week long, Dean positioned himself for arguably the afternoon’s play of the day, leveraging himself to take advantage of an overthrown pass for a game-clinching interception. Playing the sole of savior, Dean’s lead-preserving play helped Philadelphia survive for a 28-23 win, its fourth straight, over Jacksonville; the third-year linebacker contributed through a two-tackle, one-interception showing.
