Eagles Make NFL History: Blocked Field Goals 50 Years Apart Lead to Epic Comeback Win

Jordan Davis’ last-second block wasn’t just a game-winner — it was a perfect repeat of history, exactly 50 years to the day.

The Philadelphia Eagles pulled off a historic 33-26 comeback victory over the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday, and the finish will be remembered for decades.

With just seconds left, rookie kicker Joshua Karty lined up for a 44-yard field goal to tie the game. Instead, Jordan Davis powered through, blocked the kick, scooped up the football, and rumbled 61 yards for the game-clinching touchdown.

The moment wasn’t only dramatic — it was historic. According to NBC Sports’ Dave Zangaro, the last time the Eagles blocked two field goals in a game happened exactly 50 years earlier on September 21, 1975, when Bill Bergey rejected two attempts against the New York Giants.

Half a century later, history repeated itself. Jalen Carter blocked a field goal earlier in the game, and Davis sealed the win with one of the most iconic plays of the NFL season so far.

The Rams once led 26-7, but Jalen Hurts threw three second-half touchdowns to spark the comeback, while the defense shut Los Angeles down completely.

After the game, head coach Nick Sirianni praised his defensive front:

“Carter and Davis prepared all week for this. When the moment came, they executed perfectly.”

Star wideout A.J. Brown also issued a message for the offense after recording 109 yards and his first touchdown of the season:

“Let your killers do their thing, and play fast and aggressive.”

With the win, the Eagles improve to 3-0, keeping their unbeaten streak alive as they head into a Week 4 showdown with the also-undefeated Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Tre'von Moehrig Lavishes Praise on the One Who Replaced Him in His Absence
Can you believe it? A veteran star of the Carolina Panthers, Tre'von Moehrig, was suspended for a notorious "punch below the belt," but instead of being jealous, he's showering praise on his "replacement"! What's going on with this team? Read now for the "hot off the press" details from Week 13! The Carolina Panthers just caused an earthquake by defeating the Los Angeles Rams in Week 13, despite missing a slew of key players. Under the "wizardry" of head coach Dave Canales, the team showcased incredible resilience. But the real spotlight belongs to Tre'von Moehrig – the Panthers' top safety, who's sidelined due to a suspension after punching wide receiver Jauan Jennings from the San Francisco 49ers below the belt. Yet, instead of sulking, Moehrig watched from home and... "went wild" over the performance of the rookie who stepped in for him! That's none other than Lathan Ransom, the young gun selected in the 4th round of the draft, who "stole" Moehrig's spot and turned it into his own stage. Ransom not only led the team with 11 tackles but also made his mark with a "top-notch" sack! Moehrig, with his wealth of experience, couldn't hide his excitement: "Man, I was hype (for Lathan Ransom's sack). I could see it all as the play was happening. I was like, Oh, there you go. I could see it all the way. So I was happy for him to get his first sack. He had a great game, and I'm just excited. Sky's the limit for him." (Translation: "Oh man, I was so hyped (for Lathan Ransom's sack). I could see everything as the play unfolded. I was like, Oh, there you go. I saw it all the way. So I was happy for him to get his first sack. He had a great game, and I'm just excited. The sky's the limit for him." This "sweet as honey" praise from Moehrig not only affirms Ransom's talent but also raises the question: Is this "replacement" threatening the starting positions of Moehrig and Nick Scott – the current starting safety duo? Panthers fans have been "whispering" about this for a while, after witnessing Ransom shine in summer practices and his flashy cameo appearances. With this impressive performance, Ransom is sure to get more opportunities, especially as the Panthers are "heating up" in the race for the NFC South championship! At 23 years old, Ransom is seen as a "rough diamond" with explosive potential, thanks to the Panthers' sharp personnel strategy. And Moehrig? This guy was signed as a "bargain" from the free agent market, and his leadership and positive attitude have completely transformed the team's defense in just his first season. That influence is spreading strongly to Ransom – the kid who shares many similarities and is gradually "transforming" into a future star. But that's not all – the lesson from Moehrig is accelerating the "youth revolution" at the Panthers! With this public praise, Moehrig isn't just acknowledging Ransom's growth but also igniting ambition for the entire team. Will the Panthers continue to "soar high" with this new generation? Don't miss out – follow now for the next drama in the NFL!
