The Eagles absolutely dominated the Cowboys on Sunday, and the big plays started early when C.J. Gardner-Johnson scored the first points of the game with a pick six on the very first drive. He followed that up later in the game with a second interception, and in return, the safety was named the NFC Defensive Player of the Week for his performance.

This is the first time this season Gardner-Johnson had interceptions in back-to-back weeks, although his efforts were cut short in Week 16 against the Commanders.
