ARLINGTON, Texas — No kicker? No problem.
Without the concussed Jake Elliott, the Eagles exploded in the second half to rout to the Cowboys, 37-9, and used the lack of a kicker to their advantage as they converted three of four two-point conversions.
But someone had to kick off.
Kamu Grugier-Hill didn’t score a touchdown Sunday night. The Eagles linebacker didn’t play a single snap on defense. The special-teams standout did make an excellent tackle on punt coverage.
But Grugier-Hill was one of the heroes, however unlikely, in the Eagles’ comeback victory. And his lasting impact on the outcome came courtesy of his right foot.
