The kick is away. Sounded like a cannon off his foot. I know the ball was in the air for a long time. Just praying it went in. Its good and the eagles win this is that dream i talked about. Awesome. Awesome, awesome, awesome. Im really tired. This is action news sports sunday sponsored by audi. Too close for comfort. Woo. Welcome into sports sunday, alongside former eagles running back, brian westbrook, im ducis rodgers. The eagles 21 after the 2724 victory on a last second 61 yard field goal. Where does this rank . This has to be huge. Every time we play the giants, a punt return or a long field goal. This is one of the situations where you had a long for. Any time you get a win is huge. But win walking off if a big time field goal, a 61yarder, thats impress i. The highlights, 140, 147 in the fourth. And eli apple recovers. Giants ball at the eagles 33. Good defensive player. You have to tuck the ball away. Every defender is going after the football, whether youre on the sideline or in the middle of the field. Zach ertz, a veteran, has to understand this is what they do. Go after the football. Has to protect it and making sure that at the end of the day, to matter how many yards you get, you have to have possession of the football. He didnt do a very good job here. Few plays later, the giants make them pay. Second and goal, Odell Beckham junior, game tied at 14. Beckham, hes so tough to cover. This is what he does. He catches big balls. He does a great job of securing the catch here. You know, if im a defender, even the defensive coordinator, i want to make sure that my cornerback has taken away one thing. Here mills has to take away two. He gives up the outside. Odell beckham junior does a great job of catching the football. Nos. Safety help there. They stall and then eli manning, slant to shepherd. This is allot speed. This is what you want to find. You want to find Young Players that can run. Eli gets it out and shepherd does the rest. Running after the catch. The offense, thats what its predicated on. Catch it short, close to the line of scrimmage, run out the catch. And eli and sterling shepherd did that. And they have to take a better angle. We have to find a way to get these guys down. The eagles did a great job of keeping guys underneath them, not giving up the big play. This is an example of them not doing a good job of coming up and tackling when the giants caught the football. Manning, 366 yards passing. A fourplay, 75yard drive. Clement, look at that. We have been looking for the run game. About time he got involved. Great job of blocking. Great job of making the first guy miss. As a running back, youre always waiting for the next guy the guy thats to the blocked. Can you make him miss and get in the end zone . Thats a big run for him. A glad that the young guy got in the end zone. Still tied with seven seconds to play. The eagles on their 38 yard line. Jeffrey, 19 yards. Gets out of bounds with 1 second left on the clock. How well was this executed . This is beautiful. We have been asking, is wentz going to get the signature drive . That one drive that can get him over the top, hey, listen, had went down and won the Football Game. We expected Alshon Jeffery to be the guy that can catch the ball in the crowd. Today he was the guy that helped to win this Football Game. Of course, with jake with the big kick here. Try a hail mary or let a rookie kicker attempt a 61yard field goal . The eagles put it on jake elliott who missed a 52yarder earlier in the game. Longest ever by an nfl rookie and in franchise history. What does that feel like for a kicker . I called him jake long, he kicked it a long way. We were up by four or five points maybe two, and they kicked a 63yarder and won the game. This is the thing, when you are on the other side of the sideline and youre wonder, theres no way hes going to make it from here. To see a young kicker make this kick to win the game against a division rival is huge. Eagles win. Thats what its all about. At the end of the day, make sure the eagles win. Elliott provided that leg and kick. Incredible moment. Incredible moment in his young nfl career. Jamie apody has post game reaction from the link. Youre 22 years old. You have been with this team for all of 12 days and just kicked the longest field goal in franchise history . To win a game . A division game, nonetheless . A fairy tale . A hollywood script . No. Today this actually happened. Its good and the eagles win its the kicker, you have your ultimate ups and downs. Just trying to enjoy it. Well move on. When i saw the official put his hands up, it was a great moment. Probably in 14 years of playing football, probably one of the biggest wins, if not the ultimate team victory i have been around. They had more than the kick to celebrate. After all, a pulling out a close game. Last year they lost six by a touchdown or less. Might have come up short. But we have learned to finish games and drives. Theyre never going to be easy. These games are never easy, especially against the new york giants. Theyre good. Good and great teams find a way to push through adversity. If we can keep sneaking out ones that are close this year, thats the difference between a playoff team and a team thats not making the playoffs. And this close one could be even more clutch considering the eagles are 20 in the division and the giants at 03, their season is over almost as quickly as it began. Back to you. Jaime, much more on the particulars in a second. But there was a show of solidarity in the nfl today. Many players in some cases entire football teams held demonstrations during the national anthem. Trying to bring attention to social injustices and responding to the president s comments who said that players who kneel during the anthem should be fired and useed other words i will not repeat. How do you feel about what you saw tonight. Its great that the players are using the platform they have, which is on the field before the games to show their displeasure whats going on the in United States right now. But to show were together. Were not trying to separate each other. Were together and fighting the social injustices. They have a platform. Everybody wants them to stick to solely football. But this is a great opportunity to show the entire world that, listen, we want to change things. We want to make things better. And thats what this world is about. Making things better. Bringing people together. Mixed races, all different types of things. And i think the players did a great job today. The eagles react to the president s comments can and explain their goals with the demonstrations. Its not about the protests or the national anthem. Its really about, you know, making change in our communities. So hopefully just like today it was a collaborative effort of everybody kind of pooling their resources to send messages and educate and bring people together. Hopefully that can continue on microlevel in each nfl city and community. And we can really start to break some walls down and make some change. If he wants to, when he is done being president , buy an nfl, he tried to before, doesnt have the money. He can fire whoever he wants. Hes the president , thats not his job to fire nfl players. So good luck with that. All right. Still ahead here on sports sunday, the running game reappeared. Find out what made coach pederson change his ways. Action news sports sunday continues right after this. All right. 193 yards rushing in this victory. Why do you think coach pederson was more committed to the run this week . Well, when youre playing the 28thranked rush defense, you have to find a way to run the football. The giants giving up 133 yards on the ground. And you wanted to get the running game going. You have 13 rushes the week before. At some point you have to find a way to get legarrette blunt going. You saw him run with a mission. Ran with a plan. Ran behind his shoulder pads. Thats when you want to see out of the big guy. Corey clement in there, all the smallwood and the other guys as far as the run game goes. This is what the run game can be. A lot of different guys contributing to one big time run game. This team can help the quarterback by running the football. They have to do it consistently. Doug pederson committed to the run today. Darren sproles might have a broken arm. Its going to hurt them a small amount on the run guam. But other guys can contribute in that effort. The biggest part hes going to miss is the hes an electric guy. Catching on punt returns, he can do anything with the football. Thats where youre going to miss him the most. Hopefully not out for long. Older guy. I appreciate what he does tonight football field. Hopefully not out too long. Sal was at the game. He filed this report. Reporter so watching the eagles giants game from the press box and looking down on the sideline, the eagles are having trouble running the football. And i see the offensive line coach and frank, the offensive coordinator, looking at the call sheet. The offensive call sheet, the plays, and then signaling to Doug Pederson some running place. Some suggestions. I asked pederson about it after the game. He said, yeah, he wanted to lean on them for suggestions on play calling. Its the first time hes done that all year. And well see more of that in the future because it really worked. So heres the final statistics of this Football Game and i cant believe my eyes. The eagles ran the ball 39 times, only threw it 31 times. Thats more rushes than passes. After all the criticism he took last week for being so passhappy in the first few games. This is only the second time in his career as head coach of the eagles that he ran the ball more than he threw it. First time came against the giants in week 16 last year. While the eagles make their first of two road trips to the west coast, out to san diego i mean, los angeles to play the chargers. And with all the defensive bodies falling by the wayside due to injury, this team is going to have to rely more and more on balance and on discipline, on offense. Be efficient and productive through the passing game and the running game in order to take pressure off a defense missing a lot of players due to injury.

And Aaron Hernandez who committed suicide in prison while serving a sentence for murder was found to have advanced stages of cte in his brain. You played nine seasons in the nfl. How worried are you about your health Going Forward . Very concerned. It hasnt affected me thus far. Im 38 right now. But im concerned because im not sure how its going to affect me when im 40, 45, 50 years old. And a lot of guys have played my position have played football in general have had the effects of cte later on in life. Thats a bigtime concern for me and a lot of the other guys. For me, what im going to do is make sure everything i can to counter act the effects. Do the word puzzles. Continue to use your brain and think and all those things. But at the same time you dont know the effects of cte when youre 45, 50, 60 years old. How do you think the game may change . I talk to many friends who have young kids. I have a friend who is hopefully going to play football. You have a lot of parents who say if 95 of players that play football have cte, early onset of alzheimers as well as dementia, thats a bigtime concern. And the game continues to change i think that football theyre doing a good job of protecting the players and giving them a lot of information. But at the same time this is a physical game. Its a collision sport. Its a sport you have to get out there and you have to try to figure out how to play the sport safely. Unfortunately, im not sure theres an answer for that. Oh, boy. Moving on to the eagles. Next week, visit the chargers. The chargers lose today. Rivers didnt look that great. But traveling to the west coast. Could this be trouble if could this one of those quote, unquote, trap games for the birds . It could be. But the thing for the eagles, you established a run game this week. Next week, continue. Youre against the 28thranked run defense this week in the new york giants. Next week, against the 26thranked run defense. Give up it 128 yards per game. I think the eagles started something good this week and have to continue it next week. If they do that, theyll be well on the way to the victory. Sitting here with you, if i take away one thing, its to run the football. All running backs want to run the football. Hand the ball off to the running back. Hes brian westbrook, im ducis rodgers.
