Perhaps the most difficult part about sweating through a campaign Philadelphia Eagles fans hoped would culminate in a Super Bowl victory was navigating through the twists and turns of a 17-week regular season in 2017. Every human emotion was touched in Week 3. In the end, it was a game that will always be remembered for how it ended, with a 61-yard field goal by rookie kicker Jake Elliott as time expired.
This game’s setting was Lincoln Financial Field for the Eagles’ home opener. The adversary was a familiar one, ‘Big Blue’ a.k.a. the New York Giants.
