The Eagles wanted to keep Dart contained. While he scored on a touchdown run, Dart had just 17 ground yards to go with 193 through the air.
"It was a big emphasis. Every week we face a quarterback who can scramble, do anything, run out of the pocket and throw. That's just the main goal, to keep every quarterback in the pocket and close the pocket on them and get them uncomfortable so they can't see their reads," Carter added.
Jalyx Hunt had a career-high nine pressures, according to NextGen Stats. He also added his first sack of the season a week after his pick-six against the Vikings.
Linebacker Zack Baun was all over the field, per usual, with six tackles, two for loss, the first sack of Dart, and two passes defensed. He credited the pass rush with the ability to keep Dart from completing only six passes to wide receivers on Sunday.
"We had a really good plan," Baun said. "The rush did a good job. When the rush is containing him like that, it's eliminating explosives down the field as well, helping out the coverage."
Outside linebacker Joshua Uche had a strip-sack reversed by the officials when it was deemed that Dart's arm was moving forward. Uche said that Head Coach Nick Sirianni told the team this week not to use the revenge factor as motivation.
"Revenge is a temporary emotion. Discipline, focus, and intensity last a lot longer," Uche said. "We came into the game one play at a time, focused on the game play and focused on the details, and you look up at the end and we'll be where we want to be.
"We know what we're capable of. We know what we have in the building and just belief in ourselves, and just continuing to grind and stack brick by brick."
And the Eagles go into the Bye Week with a 6-2 record, sitting atop the NFC East.
"We're definitely on our way," Baun said. "The bye week gives us a chance to evaluate where we're trending and where we want to go. I think it's coming at a good time."
