Defensive Highlights
Ladies and gentleman, C.J. Gardner-Johnson has done it again. For the third consecutive game, he has intercepted a pass.
Up big late in the final frame with the Steelers threatening, Gardner-Johnson jumped in to nab the tipped ball in the end zone to seal it and keep his Eagles undefeated. Gardner-Johnson has four interceptions in just his last three games alone. He’s tied for the league-lead in I-N-T’s.
He did more than seal the game with a big turnover, packing the statsheet Sunday:

Down in Atlanta, with the game tied in overtime, Gardner-Johnson’s former teammate at DBU made a play to change the game. Panthers cornerback C.J. Henderson out-muscled a Falcons receiver on the deep ball to snag the interception and grab possession and momentum for his side.

The pick was Henderson’s second of his young career and his first in Carolina.
Gator defenders didn’t just make plays in the secondary. Cowboys pass rusher Dante Fowler Jr. made a huge impact in a big win over Chicago Sunday.
Fowler Jr. did it all for America’s team, racking up:
- Five tackles
- Two tackles for loss
- One QB hit
- One pass defended
- One sack
Fowler Jr. continues to make a major impact in his eighth season. He’s helped the Cowboys defense take over and improve to 6-2 on the year.
Offensive Highlights
While Sunday was a big day for Gators defensively, it was an equally huge day on offense.
Kyle Pitts is just fine, folks. After a bit of a slow start to the season, Pitts looked unstoppable Sunday.
Simply put, no one on Carolina’s defense – not even Henderson – had an answer for the unicorn, Pitts.

Pitts got the touchdowns started in a game that would see plenty of them. His first quarter score was his second of the season and third of his career and helped lift Atlanta to an electrifying 37-34 overtime win.
