Eagles put exclamation point on comeback win over Rams with Jordan Davis' blocked field goal return for TD

The Philadelphia Eagles put an exclamation point on their comeback victory over the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday afternoon.

Rams kicker Joshua Karty was lined up for a 44-yard field goal attempt to win the game with three seconds remaining in the game and the team down one point. Instead of giving Los Angeles the win, Karty’s attempt was blocked and the bouncing ball was picked up by Eagles defensive lineman Jordan Davis. He returned it for a touchdown.

Philadelphia won the game, 33-26.

The NFL’s Next Gen Stats noted that Davis reached a top speed of 18.59 mph on his way to the score. It was the fastest speed by an NFL player over 330 pounds since 2017. Davis is listed at 336 pounds.

It was the second straight drive in which the Rams had a field goal blocked. The first came with 8:46 left. Karty had his 36-yard field goal attempt blocked. The Eagles went up 27-26 on the following drive behind a 17-play, 91-yard drive that ended with a 4-yard touchdown pass from Jalen Hurts to DeVonta Smith.

The Rams were up 26-7 early in the third quarter when Matthew Stafford found running back Kyren Williams for a 10-yard score. It appeared nothing was going to stop Los Angeles in the game. But it was Hurts who responded with authority.

JOE BURROW LIKELY OUT FOR SEASON UNLESS BENGALS MAKE PLAYOFFS

He found Dallas Goedert for a 33-yard touchdown with 11:38 remaining in the third quarter. He followed that up with a 9-yard touchdown pass to A.J. Brown.

Hurts had 226 passing yards and three touchdown passes in the win.

The Eagles’ first half was marred by talk of the tush push. With a renewed focus on the play, officials were calling penalties on early movement. The officials may have missed one, which ended up in a Hurts rushing touchdown to start the game.

Regardless, Philadelphia played their hearts out to get back into the game.

Stafford was 19-for-33 with 196 passing yards, two touchdown passes and an interception. His other touchdown pass went to Davante Adams.

Puka Nacua led the Rams with 11 catches for 112 yards.

Brown led the Eagles in receiving with six catches for 109 yards and a touchdown. Smith had eight catches for 60 yards and a touchdown.

The Eagles improved to 3-0 and the Rams moved to 2-1.

Rifle behind Charlie Kirk’s killing may be untraceable relic from WWI

Authorities said the gun used in the killing of Charlie Kirk may be a decades-old, untraceable rifle, authorities have said.

Prosecutors and officials identified the gun as a Mauser Model 98 .30-06 caliber bolt-action rifle, a type originally manufactured in Germany for military use during both World Wars. It may predate U.S. laws enacted in 1968 following President John F. Kennedy’s assassination, which required firearms to carry serial numbers or other identifying marks — making it harder for law enforcement to trace.

Authorities said the firearm belonged to the grandfather of Tyler Robinson, the 22-year-old Utah man accused of assassinating Kirk. Police allege Robinson may have deliberately chosen the rifle because it was difficult to trace. 

Robinson himself appeared to echo that reasoning in a message to his roommate just hours after the assassination.

"I’m worried what my old man would do if I don’t bring back grandpa’s rifle," Robinson wrote, according to the New York Post. "IDK if it has a serial number but it wouldn’t trace to me. I’m worried about prints, I had to leave it in a bush where I changed outfits, didn’t have the ability or time to take it with."

Court documents indicate that the Utah State Bureau of Investigation found DNA on the murder weapon that officials say is consistent with Robinson.

KIRK ASSASSIN USED GRANDFATHER’S RIFLE TO COMMIT ACT AND PRAISED GUN AFTERWARDS, AUTHORITIES ALLEGE

Vintage firearms may complicate future investigations due to how easily would-be assassins can obtain such powerful and hard-to-trace weaponry, with millions believed to be in homes across America. After the wars in Europe, countless American soldiers returned home with German-made Mausers. In the following years, Mauser rifles and other similar models could even be purchased through mail. 

WHAT IS A BOLT ACTION RIFLE? WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT THE GUN USED TO KILL CHARLIE KIRK

A report from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) notes that it is exceedingly rare for such rifles to be used in crimes. Most gun violence in America is carried out with pistols, while semiautomatic AR-15-style rifles have been used in some of the nation’s deadliest mass shootings.

ATF and the Federal Bureau of Investigation Salt Lake City did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital.
