Star defensive tackle Jalen Carter made sure to protect Philadelphia Eagles fans with his words and his actions during Sunday’s divisional matchup against the Los Angeles Rams.
Carter had a pivotal forced fumble and a sack on the Rams’ final drive of the game to help the Eagles defeat the Rams, 28–22, to advance to the NFC championship game next Sunday against the Washington Commanders. Hours earlier, Carter gave Rams rookie edge rusher Jared Verse an unfriendly greeting for saying he found the fan base annoying. Now rowdy Eagles fans will get to host another playoff game, but don’t expect rookie Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels to follow Verse’s lead and provide bulletin board material.
