Standouts
OLB Jalyx Hunt
Hunt continues to impress in his second season. His diving interception gave him a team-high three this season. He also scooped up a fumbled snap to give Philadelphia possession deep in Washington territory.
RB Tank Bigsby
Bigsby shined against the Commanders, rushing 16 times for 75 yards and a touchdown. He also added one catch for 31 yards, planting his foot in the dirt and juking a defender for the big gain. — Written by Matt Ryan
