Jordan Davis’ 61-Yard Scoop-and-Score Off Blocked Kick Seals Eagles’ 33–26 Comeback vs. Rams

The 336-pound tackle hit 18.59 mph on the return, the fastest ever recorded for a 300-plus-pound ball-carrier.

Overview

  • He swatted Joshua Karty’s 44-yard attempt as time expired, then returned the loose ball 61 yards for the winning score.
  • Next Gen Stats measured Davis at 18.59 mph on the run, a rare top speed for a player of his size.
  • The touchdown followed his first block earlier in the game and completed Philadelphia’s 26 unanswered points after trailing 26–7.
  • Head coach Nick Sirianni said he approves of a scoop-and-score in a no-time, open-field situation like the game’s final play.
  • In a contract year after losing 26 pounds, Davis finished with five tackles and key short-yardage stops as his responsibilities grow.
