Eagles' Dallas Goedert reflects on dominant performance vs. Saints | NFL on FOX
Philadelphia Eagles' Dallas Goedert reflected on his dominant performance vs. the New Orleans Saints in Week 3.
The Philadelphia Eagles’ defense stepped up and held the New Orleans Saints to just 12 points in their Week 3 win on Sunday and defensive lineman Jalen Carter let everyone know.
Carter, the second-year player out of Georgia, was trash talking Saints players on the sideline and then turned to those who packed the Caesars Superdome. Carter had to be restrained by head coach Nick Sirianni, assistant coach Clint Hurtt and chief security officer Dom DiSandro.
