Philadelphia Eagles Caught a Break During a Critical Third Down Moment

It was third-and-nine when Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz avoided immense pressure and barely got a pass off to Nelson Agholor. With a little over four minutes to play in the third quarter, the Eagles were trailing and looking to take the lead. Agholor saved the drive with his extra leap of faith, getting past the first down marker to move the chains.

While everybody was so impressed with Wentz’s ability to avoid the rush and get the pass off, nobody realized that Agholor actually stepped out of bounds before crossing the first down market.
