Jalen Carter picks up Matthew Stafford a la Jayden Daniels sack from 2022

Jalen Carter is developing a signature sack move where he picks the quarterback up off the ground.
Carter got to the Los Angeles Rams Matthew Stafford in the 1st quarter of Sunday’s divisional playoff game. Carter simply picked Stafford up off the ground.
For many SEC fans, that sack was quite familiar. Just over 2 years ago when Georgia faced LSU in the 2022 SEC Championship Game, Carter memorably sacked Jayden Daniels similarly.
Jalen Carter could have planted Matt Stafford in the earth. Instead he held the fellow Dawg up in the air like he did Jayden Daniels.

Nolan Smith was there too.
Dawg on Dawg on Dawg
That looked like the Jalen Carter sack on Jayden Daniels when they were still in college.

If Philadelphia can take care of business against Los Angeles, Carter and the Eagles would next face the Washington Commanders led by Daniels in the NFC Championship Game for a spot in the Super Bowl.
Daniels’ Commanders upset the Detroit Lions on Sunday. Carter’s Eagles have a 13-7 lead on the Rams early in the 2nd quarter. The game is airing on NBC.
