Head Coach Nick Sirianni preaches before the start of the season that each player has a role and needs to execute that job for the team to be successful. There are the highlight plays that key every win, but the foundation for victory is often found in hidden plays or moments that don't generate headlines. Coach Sirianni spotlights some of those players here in Role Call.

Jalen Carter seeing double

Out of 54 defensive snaps, defensive tackle Jalen Carter was on the field for all but two of them Sunday against Jacksonville.

And he was impactful beyond the box score stats.

He finished with four tackles and tied a career high with six pressures. Three of them came against double teams, according to NFL's Next Gen Stats.

What made the performance even more impressive was that he generated five of those pressures against five-time Pro Bowl guard Brandon Scherff, who had not allowed more than four pressures to a single player over the last seven seasons.

"I thought he played very well. I thought he had – I mean, I don't know that I can say his best game overall, but if not his best, then it's up there," Defensive Coordinator Vic Fangio said. "The way the game went, we had a fair amount of three-and-outs. So, it is more possible and easier for a defensive lineman to play a good bit of the game. If you're getting a bunch of seven-, eight-, nine-play series, then it's harder."

When he had a one-on-one opportunity, he capitalized. On a third-down early in the third quarter, he beat Scherff and forced quarterback Trevor Lawrence to run to his left where Josh Sweat joined the chase to force a throwaway.

"He was opening it up for other guys and that's the way that it goes," Head Coach Nick Sirianni said. "It happens a lot at receiver, too. One guy runs off, they double him and the other guy makes a play. Jalen has done a nice job. He played a lot of plays. He played hard. He's obviously in great shape to do that, so really proud of how he played and his numbers will come."

Any other week, Jahan Dotson's catch would have generated the biggest buzz

Head Coach Nick Sirianni was emphatic after Sunday's win, both in his public press conference and in his postgame address to the team, that Saquon Barkley's reverse hurdle was the greatest play that he's ever seen.

Sirianni knows that wide receiver Jahan Dotson's juggling catch down the left sideline, where he tipped the ball over Jaguars cornerback Tyson Campbell and hauled it in while falling to the ground, was pretty remarkable in its own right.

"That was huge. It was a huge catch for our team. I think Jahan's confident in himself. We're sure confident in him. I'm glad he had a chance to make a play and it was an unbelievable play," Sirianni said of the 36-yard reception. "It does get lost in the shuffle because there were so many outstanding plays, but that catch was outstanding and it was freaky, whatever adjective you can use to say what that play was, it was unbelievable."

Three plays later, quarterback Jalen Hurts ran a QB draw 18 yards for a touchdown to make it 22-0 in the third quarter. Dotson played 42 snaps in the win with the catch his longest of the season. With A.J. Brown's status up in the air after exiting Sunday's game with a knee injury, Dotson could be counted upon to make even more plays. His three biggest snap counts of the year have come when Brown missed time with a hamstring injury.

Sydney Brown turns the tide with a special teams play

While second-year safety Sydney Brown bides his time for an expanded role on defense, he's utilizing his opportunity to impact the game on special teams. With 11:20 remaining in the first quarter, Brown provided a spark when he leveled Jaguars punt returner Austin Trammell to force a fumble that was recovered by Kelee Ringo.

"He's a heck of a playmaker and we've been missing his playmaking ability as he's been out with injury and he made a play that helped change the game," Head Coach Nick Sirianni said. "I think that's what you expect out of a guy like him, taking advantage of his opportunity to get down there, beat his guy, and then force the fumble to help put us up 7-0 early."

Since making his season debut against the Giants, in the same stadium where he suffered his season-ending knee injury in January, Brown has played 12 snaps on defense but 59 snaps on special teams.

"You know, that play by Sydney was outstanding, want to get some juice back into the stadium right there," Special Teams Coordinator Michael Clay said. "Sydney did a great job with his release, outside release, and using his speed to carve, and it was a good enough hang time from Braden (Mann) to allow him to get down there. He shot outside-in and got his helmet on the ball right there.

"It's extremely difficult. You always want these guys to be ultra-aggressive going down the field but there are times, late fair catch, and you have to bail out at the same time. It almost comes with a feel and he timed it out perfectly. Allowed the guy to kind of take a step, and I don't think he really saw Sydney out of his peripheral and Sydney made a heck of a play to give a short field to our offense."

One of Brown's signature plays from his rookie season came in the Eagles' Week 9 win against this week's opponent, the Dallas Cowboys. On the final play of the game, Brown forced a walk-off fumble when he jarred the ball loose from Pro Bwol wide receiver CeeDee Lamb.

"I tell everybody on special teams: 'My sole goal is for you to start on offense and defense. I want you to be the best possible player you can be, whether that's starting on special teams and you get that promotion to offense and defense.' It's one of the greater things I can feel as a coach. You can see that from Reed Blankenship in his third year. Now, he's the starter. He played a lot of special teams for us," Clay said.

"Then I had Raheem (Mostert) in San Francisco being the starting running back. I hope he gets to play that starting spot, but until that happens we're very, very happy to have him on special teams."
