Daily News | Eagles’ Javon Hargrave summons ‘Mamba mentality’ to spark a win against the Houston Texans
HOUSTON — Javon Hargrave has a stockpile of Kobe Bryant clips saved on his phone specifically for moments like Thursday night.
What followed Hargrave’s ritual on Thursday was a three-sack performance against the Texans, anchoring the Eagles defense in a 29-17 win to remain undefeated.His performance, his teammates said, was reminiscent of the relentlessness Bryant showcased on a basketball court. The 29-year-old said the difference is that he came off the bye week “healthy” after playing through a nagging toe injury during the first six games. Hargrave suffered the injury during training camp.
Hargrave’s hot streak is coming at the right time for the Eagles, who placed rookie nose tackle Jordan Davis on injured reserve Wednesday with a high ankle sprain. The former Georgia standout has been the key cog in the Eagles’ odd fronts, occupying the zero-technique directly across from the center and freeing up Hargrave and Fletcher Cox to play from wider alignments.
“It’s shorter space, so you can win pretty quick at the nose,” Hargrave said. “But I like everything. There’s advantages to all of them.”
