Dean recorded two solo tackles, two pass breakups and a game-clinching interception in Sunday's 28-23 win over the Jaguars. The inside linebacker leaped to pick off a pass in the end zone as Jacksonville was driving late in the fourth to potentially take the lead.

Roughly 25 minutes after the final whistle, Nakobe Dean was still holding onto the ball with which he called game. It was a too-close-for-comfort victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars, one that necessitated Dean to play the hero with a leaping interception in the front corner of the end zone to seal the 28-23 win late in the fourth quarter and vault the Eagles to 6-2.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts previously shared how he had some "great moments" with head coach Nick Sirianni as the two spent parts of the team's Week 5 bye working on fixes for what was a 2-2 club at the time.
