Lane Johnson pointed to Malcolm Jenkins' speech in the locker room following the NFC East-clinching victory at the Los Angeles Rams on December 10 as a turning point in the season. It was a bittersweet moment. The team was proudly celebrating a hard-fought win that secured a division crown for the first time in four seasons. On the other hand, Carson Wentz, the league MVP to that point of the season, was done for the season with a torn ACL in his left knee.
Jenkins rallied the team with a soul-stirring message reminding everyone of the bigger goals that were still achievable no matter who was in at any position.
