For the first week in the NFL this season, the best performance from a former Terp came from someone not named Stefon Diggs.
Indianapolis Colts defensive end Yannick Ngakoue has been his team’s best edge rusher this season and continued to prove this point against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. He had 1.5 sacks, three combined tackles, a QB hit and a forced fumble as he gave Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts a lot of trouble while playing 85% of defensive snaps.
His forced fumble came on this play, where Ngakoue came flying in on Hurts’ blind side and ripped the ball out of his hand mid-throw to win the ball back for the Colts.
