PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Jordan Davis clutched the ball in his outstretched right hand as he reached the end zone and had no choice but to freeze and meet the mob of Eagles sprinting his way.
“If I tried to run away,” Davis said, “I was going to get moshed.”
Davis got swept up in the celebration after the 336-pounder capped off Philadelphia's block party with an improbable special-teams touchdown that kept the Super Bowl champs unbeaten.
Davis blocked a field-goal attempt by the Rams' Joshua Karty on the final play of the game and returned it 61 yards to the end zone — the Eagles' second blocked kick of the fourth quarter — to give Philly an exhilarating 33-26 win over Los Angeles on Sunday.
“I don’t know what mph I hit but I'm pretty sure it was something crazy,” Davis said.
