Eagles punt coverage did not capitalize on an excellent punt by Cam Johnston

Last week, I wrote about how great Eagles punter Cam Johnston has been this season, and, in addition to being one of the best punters in the league this season, has also made a body-slam tackle and not shied away from getting in his opponent’s face.

Johnston nailed an 81-yard punt in the Eagles preseason opener, but his work on Sunday against the Texans had the potential to top that moment. Following the Houston touchdown to narrow the Eagles lead to six in the fourth quarter, the Eagles next drive ended with Johnston giving the punt coverage team a chance to spot the ball inside the five yard line.
