Nolan Smith continues a run of productive play with a third-down sack. He's been a key player for the Eagles during the back stretch of the schedule. He now has 6 sacks in his last 9 games.

When looking at how the Eagles defense has evolved this year, most of the attention goes to Cooper DeJean. He's been the biggest change since the bye. But don't forget Smith, who was playing fewer than half the defensive snaps for the first half of the season.  He now plays the most of the edge rushers.
