DAWKINS AND PRYCE CONCLUDE THEIR SEASONS


Former Tiger Brian Dawkins concluded a stellar postseason in which his Philadelphia Eagles made it all the way to the NFC Championship game before falling to Arizona on Sunday. Dawkins recorded 6 tackles in the game. In the previous playoff game against the defending champion NY Giants, he had 10 tackles. In the wild card game against Minnesota, he accounted for 6 tackles, a sack and a forced fumble. During the regular season, Brian had 75 tackles, 3 sacks, 6 forced fumbles and an interception. Dawkins will play in his seventh Pro Bowl on Feb. 8, 2009. He is a free agent and has not yet signed a contract to play with Philadelphia for the 2009 season.

Former Tiger Trevor Pryce also concluded the postseason when his Baltimore Ravens were defeated by the Steelers in the AFC Championship game on Sunday. Pryce accounted for two tackles in the game. In the previous playoff game against the Tennessee Titans, he had no tackles. In the wildcard game against the Miami Dolphins, he recorded 1 tackle and 1 sack. Trevor had 27 tackles and 4.5 sacks during the regular season. A two-time Super Bowl Champion (one with the Broncos and one with the Ravens) and four-time Pro Bowl selection, Pryce is under contract with the Ravens through the 2010 season.
