Stephon Gilmore’s extra motivation: On Sunday night, the Cowboys produced a fairly dominant display in a 33-13 win over the NFC East rival Eagles.
A big part of Dallas’ effort was on the defensive side, where the Cowboys defense once again proved stout. Somewhat surprisingly, it was cornerback Stephon Gilmore who led the team in tackles, with nine.
Gilmore also forced a fumble playing against talented Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown.
Now 33, the former Patriot — who won the 2019 NFL Defensive Player of the Year in New England — said he was inspired by some trash-talking from Brown.
