In a game that changed momentum in great, sweeping waves, the ending was absolutely surreal, improbable, magical.
Jake Elliott, signed two weeks ago after placekicker Caleb Sturgis suffered a hip injury the opening-day win at Washington, kicked a franchise-record 61-yard field goal on the game’s last play to give the Eagles the winning points in a 27-24 win over the New York Giants on Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field.
“I looked up and saw that the kick had a chance,” Elliott said just as he was carried off the field and into the tunnel on the way to the locker room at Lincoln Financial Field.
