Overview

  • The Eagles erased a 19-point deficit to beat the Rams 33-26, with Davis turning a blocked 44-yard attempt into a walk-off touchdown as time expired.
  • Philadelphia blocked two fourth-quarter field goals, the franchise’s first game with two blocked kicks since Sept. 21, 1975, with Carter swatting a 36-yarder before Davis’ decisive play.
  • NFL Next Gen Stats clocked Davis at 18.59 mph on the return, the fastest recorded speed by a 300-plus-pound ball carrier.
  • Coaches adopted Davis’ film-room request to line him up next to Carter on the block unit, a pairing that overpowered Los Angeles’ left side after a personnel change.
  • Davis finished with five tackles, a sack, and two blocked kicks as Philadelphia improved to 3-0 heading into Week 4.
