C.J. Gardner-Johnson redeemed himself rather nicely in Week 17, atoning for his ejection and fines in the 36-33 loss to the Commanders.
Gardner-Johnson’s two interceptions against Dallas led to a 41-7 win, and on Tuesday, he was named the NFC Defensive Player of the Week for his efforts.

A potential All-Pro, Gardner-Johnson is among the league leaders and is the fourth Eagle to take home such an award this season, along with running back Saquon Barkley (four-time Offensive Player of the Week), linebacker Zack Baun, and punter Braden Mann.
Baun also notched his first NFC Defensive Player of the Week award this season against Dallas, following the 34-6 win in Week 10.
