The Philadelphia Eagles secured a dramatic 33-26 comeback win over the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday, capped off by Jordan Davis blocking a potential game-winning field goal and returning it for a touchdown.
With just seconds remaining, Rams kicker Joshua Karty lined up for a 44-yard attempt, only to see it knocked down at the line.
Jordan Davis scooped it up , rumbled to the end zone, and crossed the goal line with teammates alongside him, sealing Philadelphia’s third straight win to open the season.
