Jalen Carter's performance against the Baltimore Ravens showcased his dominance as a defensive lineman, earning high praise from teammate C.J. Gardner-Johnson, who called him the best in the league. Carter recorded eight pressures, a sack, and several tackles for loss, proving instrumental in the Eagles' defensive success.
Despite Carter's standout performance, the Eagles defense collectively pressured Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson 35 times, with Milton Williams leading the team in pressures. Carter acknowledged the contributions of his teammates, particularly Jordan Davis, who stepped up in the absence of Brandon Graham.
With impressive statistics and a strong mindset, Carter is emerging as one of the top defensive players in the NFL, but he remains humble, recognizing the need for continued growth in his second season.
