At the point of the game this play came in, it felt like the Eagles were absolutely dead in the water, something we ll discuss more below. The Saints were chewing up yards and making a comeback victory feel basically inevitable, and with one big strip-sack, Sweat flipped the game back toward an Eagles W.
Once that Sweat play stopped New Orleans dead in their tracks, the floodgates appeared to open for the big boys up front. Sweat picked up another on on the next drive, and Javon Hargrave burst through the line for a big play of his own shortly after Sweat left for an undisclosed reason (it was hard to tell if it was a small knock or if perhaps he was just fatigued/cramping late in the game).
