As opposing secondaries have learned through both success and failure, conquering the duo that leads the NFL in passing and receiving yards respectfully requires a unique mixture of scheme, teamwork, and sometimes, a sprinkle of fortune. Blending the three flawlessly on Oct. 27, 2024, Chauncey Gardner-Johnson — speeding over to help his Eagles teammate survive a high-stakes one-on-one along the sidelines — reaps the benefits by turning a accurately-batted pass into his season’s first pick. Key in helping slow Cincinnati’s second half attack, Gardner-Johnson tallied one tackle and one interception, plays that ultimately propelled Philadelphia to a 37-17 victory over the Bengals.
