"The Eagle has landed" is one of the more notable sentences in history.
Astronaut Neil Armstrong uttered the words after piloting the Lunar Lander to a safe stop on the Moon in 1969.
Nearly 50 years later, they had a different meaning on Earth.
Prior to the College Football Playoff Semifinal between Clemson and Notre Dame, an eagle landed on the back and shoulders of a Notre Dame fan in the AT&T Stadium stands in Arlington, Texas.
