On defense, Haason Reddick wins for notching two sacks and two forced fumbles in the Philadelphia Eagles' 29-21 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Reddick is the third straight Eagle to take home the award, following cornerback Darius Slay in Week 2 and defensive end Brandon Graham in Week 3. The undefeated Eagles also feature the NFC's Offensive Player of the Month, quarterback Jalen Hurts. Needless to say, the Eagles are flying high.
