What can I say? An Eagles win. It’s been a while so I am a bit speechless. They started out looking relatively bad, but battled back to win 27-24 over the Carolina Panthers.
The win doesn’t look like much, until you check out the numbers. It’s still a bit early to start looking at Wild-Card stats, but there are now 4 teams with a 6-6 record that are tied for the NFC Wild-Card.
The player of the game had to be Lito Sheppard’s interception in the end zone with 25 seconds left in the game. It was a very close call, but after a booth review, he had both feet in bounds to make the catch. As you can see in the above screencap, even Andy Reid gave a big fist pump after the ref’s came out of the review booth. I needed a screencap, because Big Andy rarely shows emotions on the field.
