The rookie had some harsh words for his NFC East rival after the win.

Simmons, Jackson’s teammate, defended his position mate on social media.
“This is unbelievable. Dobbs on this play was playing running back. The TE was under center, snapped the ball and tossed it back to Dobbs who isn’t defenseless. On a third-and-1, where you’re fighting for every yard, how are we supposed to stop a runner from falling forward?
