Swift followed a 175-yard performance in Week 2 with another big game on Monday. He finished with 130 yards rushing on 16 carries.

Swift is taking advantage of playing behind an excellent Philadelphia offensive line.

Davis was immovable on the stout Eagles defensive line. He finished with three tackles and helped force a Tampa Bay safety.

Carter had arguably his best performance of his rookie season thus far, finishing with two tackles, 0.5 a sack, a quarterback hit and this forced fumble on an impressive hustle play.

Pro Football Focus (PFF) currently rated Carter as the No. 1 interior defender in the NFL this season.

Overall, the Eagles have six former Georgia Bulldogs on their roster.
