Takk McKinley’s big Week 2 saw him haunt Carson Wentz

We knew Takkarist McKinley had a killer day against the Eagles, because we saw him chasing around Carson Wentz all day. If you want a little more context for just how much of a pest he was, we can now provide that.

It turns out that Takk was tied for the second-highest number of pressures for Week 2. That checks out, given that Takk was beating an elite Eagles line frequently and coming within inches of annihilating Wentz on multiple occasions.

Everson Griffen: 11
Tak McKinley: 8
Chris Jones: 8
Shaquil Barrett: 8
Khalil Mack: 8— Mike Johnson (@PFF_MJ) September 17, 2019

It’s sort of incredible, frankly, that Takk does not have a sack yet and has been credited with just two quarterback hits to this point.
