The Philadelphia Eagles owe their NFC Championship berth to one man: Jalen Carter. In a game where the Los Angeles Rams had the Eagles on the ropes, Carter delivered game-changing plays that kept Philadelphia’s Super Bowl dreams alive.
Carter’s forced fumble in the fourth quarter shifted momentum, forcing the Rams into a must-score situation. But it was his clutch sack of Matthew Stafford on third-and-2 with less than a minute left that sealed the victory. The Rams, who had been surging offensively, were suddenly facing a fourth-and-long they couldn’t convert. Without Carter’s heroics, the Eagles might be sitting at home right now.
Carter’s dominance highlights why he’s one of the most feared defensive players in the league. His ability to take over games, even against elite quarterbacks like Stafford, is unmatched. For a team built on its defensive prowess, Carter’s contributions are invaluable.
As the Eagles prepare for the Commanders, they’ll lean heavily on Carter to disrupt Jayden Daniels and the Washington offense. If he can replicate his divisional-round performance, Philadelphia’s path to the Super Bowl looks a lot brighter.
