Jordan Davis' Blocked Field Goal Return Lifts Eagles Over Rams 33-26

A second-half passing shift set up two late special-teams stops to flip a 26-7 deficit into a 3-0 start.

Overview

  • Philadelphia erased a 19-point hole with 26 unanswered points after halftime to stay unbeaten.
  • Jalen Hurts went 21-of-32 for 226 yards with three touchdown passes, including a fourth-and-goal strike to DeVonta Smith with 1:48 remaining.
  • Jalen Carter blocked a 36-yard attempt earlier in the fourth quarter before Jordan Davis swatted a 44-yarder and returned it 61 yards as time expired.
  • Right tackle Lane Johnson left with a neck injury and was listed as questionable to return.
  • Special teams loomed large as Rams kicker Joshua Karty hit four first-half field goals and troubled returns with knuckleball kickoffs before two late blocks, while apparent early movement on Philadelphia’s tush-push sneaks went uncalled despite a recent enforcement emphasis.
