NEW ORLEANS — The Eagles needed a stop.
They were leading the Rams by six with 1:14 to play in the second round of the NFC playoffs last month. The Rams had trudged their way down a snowy Lincoln Financial Field and faced third-and-2 from the Eagles’ 12. Quarterback Matthew Stafford took a shotgun snap and, within three seconds, was on his back.
Defensive tackle Jalen Carter lined up over center Beaux Limmer, stutter-stepped and used a swim move, raising his right arm and throwing him to the side before sprinting straight ahead to sack Stafford and force fourth-and-11.
