Eagles in the NFL: Week 4

Read Time:3 Minute, 33 Second

Harold Landry, a 2016 All-American, left BC second in the record book with 26 career sacks and second with 47.5 tackles for loss. He leaped into the NFL as the second-round draft pick of the Tennessee Titans earlier this year and after sitting out the week one opener has excelled in each opportunity on the Tennessee defense. Landry’s ability to rush the passer off the edge has earned his more-and-more playing time with each week. The Titans (3-1) have won all three games with Landry on the field and recently knocked off the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, 26-23 in overtime.

Landry’s first career sack forced a fumble that led to a Tennessee score. In his week two debut, he did not get credit with a sack but had three key pressures on Houston Texans’ QB DeShaun Watson that helped the Titans to a 20-17 win.

Landry totaled four tackles and was credited with a strip-sack of Carson Wentz early in the fourth quarter that led to a Tennessee field goal to trim the Eagles’ lead to four.
