The Philadelphia Eagles defense fought hard, holding the New Orleans Saints to just 12 points in Sunday's Week 3 win, and defensive lineman Jalen Carter was proof of that.
Carter, a second-year player from Georgia, yelled at Saints players on the sideline and then addressed the packed crowd at the Caesars Superdome before having to be restrained by head coach Nick Sirianni, assistant coach Clint Hart and chief security officer Dom DiSandro.
