Eagles safety Jaylen Watkins remembers Chaz Green, a teammate for four years at the University of Florida, as a “high-IQ guy,” so it’s no wonder that Green correctly identified his showing for the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday as a poor one.
“I feel like this is on my shoulders. I let the team down,” Green said after filling in for Pro Bowl left tackle Tyron Smith and allowing five sacks during the Cowboys’ 27-7 loss to the Atlanta Falcons.
All five were recorded by Atlanta defensive end Adrian Clayborn, who got another against Byron Bell, a late-game replacement for Green, and the six-sack day triggered a $750,000 bonus in Clayborn’s contract.
