Eagles Legend Merrill Reese Shakes the NFL With Iconic Call on Jordan Davis’ Game-Sealing Touchdown vs. Rams
After nearly five decades as the unmistakable voice of the Philadelphia Eagles, Merrill Reese still finds ways to deliver chills that transcend the game itself.
On Sunday, in a wild showdown against the defending champion Los Angeles Rams, Reese captured another timeless moment as Jordan Davis stunned the NFL with one of the most improbable plays Lincoln Financial Field has ever witnessed.
The Eagles, trailing by 17 points in the second half, looked dead in the water. But a furious rally — capped off in chaos — turned despair into delirium. With less than two minutes remaining, the Rams lined up for a potential game-winning field goal. Then came history.
At 330 pounds, Jordan Davis bulldozed his way through the line, swatted the kick, scooped it up, and sprinted 61 yards like a runaway freight train. The stadium erupted, and Merrill Reese delivered the soundtrack fans will never forget:
“It’s blocked! It’s picked up by the Eagles! Running with it is Davis – 30, 20, 10, 5, touchdown! Game over! Jordan Davis blocked him again! Have you ever seen anything like this?”
The play sealed a 33-26 comeback victory, leaving fans breathless and the NFL buzzing. For Davis, often doubted early in his career, it was a signature moment. For Reese, it was another instant classic to add alongside his legendary calls — from the Philly Special in Super Bowl LII, to DeSean Jackson’s Miracle at the Meadowlands punt return, to Brian Westbrook’s season-saving heroics.
Does Davis’ touchdown crack Reese’s all-time top five? Maybe not yet — but it’s firmly in the conversation. And once again, Reese proved why he remains the heartbeat of Eagles Nation.
