The Philadelphia Eagles had one of the luckiest catches you’ll ever see near the end of the first half against the Falcons.
The Eagles’ best pass play came when a terrible Nick Foles throw bounced off a defender’s knee
You can’t just watch it once.
Trying to get into field-goal range after a Falcons punt, Nick Foles soared a pass for Zach Ertz. It went off the knee of Keanu Neal and ended up up getting caught by Torrey Smith:
Thanks to the catch, the Eagles were able to get one more pass to Alshon Jeffery down the field and get a 53-yard field goal to end the half.
While it wasn’t a pretty half for Nick Foles, he completed 11 of 15 passes for 101 yards. It was truly the first bounce that went the Eagles’ way after a pair of lost fumbles and a missed extra point following their first touchdown of the game.
The Eagles would go into the half down 10-9, givings us the most interesting end to a half by far.
