Quinyon Mitchell Records First Regular Season Pickoff Against Jaguars

Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Quinyon Mitchell recorded his first regular season interception on Sunday in London against the Jacksonville Jaguars, picking off quarterback Trevor Lawrence with 2:15 left in the third quarter while Philadelphia held a 14-10 lead.

According to Yahoo Sports, Mitchell's takeaway ended a Jacksonville possession and gave the Eagles offense another chance to build on its advantage. The third-year cornerback entered the game with four postseason interceptions but had no regular season interceptions.

Mitchell finished the first half with four tackles, including three solo stops, according to Yahoo Sports. He also helped force an early Jaguars punt by stopping tight end Brenton Strange short of the first-down marker.

According to Yahoo Sports, Philadelphia selected Mitchell No. 22 overall out of Toledo in the 2024 NFL draft, and he quickly became a key part of the team's secondary.

The cornerback earned Associated Press first-team All-Pro honors for the 2025 season and his first Pro Bowl selection, according to Yahoo Sports. Mitchell and Cooper DeJean became the first Eagles cornerbacks to receive first-team All-Pro recognition since Lito Sheppard in 2004.

Yahoo Sports reported that Mitchell's honors came despite finishing the previous season without a regular season interception. Next Gen Stats recorded that he allowed a 42.4% catch rate in 2025 and was the only cornerback who did not surrender a touchdown on at least 600 coverage snaps.

Mitchell's interception against Jacksonville added a missing regular season milestone to his career record while helping Philadelphia maintain its narrow lead against Lawrence and the Jaguars, according to Yahoo Sports.
