Jordan Davis’ importance to the Eagles’ run defense has never been more evident. FlyEaglesFly
The stats have spoken for themselves as well since the regular season began. In Davis’ first “real” NFL game, he played just 22 snaps—32% of the Eagles’ total defensive snap count. But in the 22 snaps Davis was on the field, the Detroit Lions averaged just 2.9 yards per carry against Philadelphia’s front seven. In the 45 snaps that Davis was on the sidelines, the Lions gashed the Eagles for 10 yards per carry.
Obviously, there were other players rotating in and out with Davis and it’s a one-game sample size, but as the season has gone on, it’s a stat that has held up. Per NBC Sports Philadelphia, opposing defenses have averaged 5.10 yards per carry this season when Davis is off the field. When he’s on the field, that number slips down to just 3.87 yards per carry.
Philadelphia’s difficulty stopping the run without Davis was most apparent when the Eagles took on the Washington Commanders on Monday night. Washington ran the ball well all night with running backs Antonio Gibson and Brian Robinson Jr. combining for 130 rushing yards and a pair of touchdowns.
