The Philadelphia Eagles needed a huge slice of luck to beat the Los Angeles Rams — 330lbs of it, to be precise.
Joshua Karty lined up a 44-yard field goal that would have sealed a 29-27 victory for the Rams with three seconds left.

But defensive tackle Jordan Davis destroyed the play.
The giant pressured straight up the middle and got a hand on the kick before managing to scoop it up.
He ran it back protected by a wall of team-mates to seal a 3-0 start to the season for the reigning Super Bowl champions.
How much does Jordan Davis weigh?
Davis hit 18.59 miles per hour on his touchdown — the fastest a 300lb-plus player has ever hit, per Next Gen Stats.
Davis turned up for training camp 26lbs down from last season — and it showed.
“Living better, more energy, greater focus, conditioning-wise on the field, I feel like it takes me longer to really get tired or to really feel that sun and everything,” he said at the time.
“It’s just kind of getting back into the swing of things and also adapting to my new body at this new weight. Just kind of feeling it out on the field.”
Incredibly, there were three blocked kicks in Sunday’s early kickoffs with two returned for touchdowns.
Will McDonald IV ran in a 50-yard score off his own block to give the New York Jets a shot at an unlikely victory, but the Tampa Bay Buccaneers held on.
The Cleveland Browns also blocked a field goal in a stunning upset over the Green Bay Packers.
