PHILADELPHIA— Eagles rookie safety Drew Mukuba has helped and hurt Philadelphia’s defense simultaneously.

Every time Mukuba makes a good play, he seems to follow up it with a bad one.

In the Eagles’ Week 7 victory over the Minnesota Vikings this past Sunday, Mukuba picked off quarterback Carson Wentz for his second interception of the season. On the next drive, Mukuba failed to tackle Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson on a 40-yard gain to Philadelphia’s 15-yard line, which set up a field goal.

If Mukuba does not eliminate the negative plays, Philadelphia’s secondary will be inconsistent for the whole year.

“It’s uneven,” Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio said on Tuesday about Mukuba’s performance this season. “The ability is there. He has to be more consistent.”
