"Phillips paced all Eagles edge players with 52 snaps and racked up seven pressures, six tackles, two quarterback hits and a fumble recovery. His stuff on 4th-and-1 with 1:30 remaining led to a Josh Jacobs fumble that sealed the win. "This whole week we've been telling him we trust him, when we get out there we're all as one," defensive tackle Jalen Carter said. "He came out, showed out, he got the fumble, he got some pressures, and he had a hell of a game.""
""This is the first time in a while that I got a little emotional before a game. This stage -- it's my first time in Lambeau -- and walking out of that tunnel, it doesn't get better than that," he said. "I felt amazing energy from the guys. There is just an air of confidence and everybody played together. We had a great game, obviously, super gritty.""
"Phillips was acquired from the Miami Dolphins in exchange for a third-round pick last week in front of the trade deadline. He called it 'literally the greatest thing that has happened to me in my whole life, probably.' That feeling of gratitude stayed with him for his trip to Green Bay. The defense held Jordan Love to 176 yards on 20-of-36 passing while sacking him three times and registering eight quarterback hits."
