Cox is tied for fifth in the league with three sacks. He also has a forced fumble, six quarterback hurries and 14 tackles. He just posted a pair of sacks and a forced fumble in Sunday’s dominating 34-3 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers.
In other news, Carson Wentz was named the Offensive Rookie of the Month, the first time in Eagles history that a player has won that award. He was named the NFC Offensive Player of the Week Tuesday after throwing for 301 yards and two touchdowns against Pittsburgh. Wentz has five touchdowns and no interceptions so far on the season.
