That defensive touchdown was just one of many big-time moments the Eagles' 2023 first-round pick out of Georgia has had this season, making him a DROY favorite. 

Heading into Week 14, Carter had logged 26 total tackles, four sacks, two forced fumbles and a blocked kick.

Carter's touchdown on Sunday was also the Eagles' first score of the game against Dallas as Philly's offense struggled greatly. 

The Birds still trail 24-13.
