When things aren't going well, every moment matters. When you're down on the scoreboard, you must fight, scratch, and crawl for everything. That's what the Philadelphia Eagles are dealing with in Tampa.
The Buccaneers had just punched in a touchdown. They led by a 30-14 margin with a tad over six minutes remaining in the third quarter.
You know what comes next. All Philly needed to do was dial up a huge special teams play on the extra-point attempt.
Isaiah Rodgers and Kelee Ringo combine for a rare special teams two-point conversion in Tampa.
They're called the THREE phases for a reason. Offense... Defense... Special teams... Sometimes we forget about Michael Clay's guys, but that isn't the case today.
It's rare that we see extra-point attempts blocked. It's even rarer that we see them returned for two points. Philly delivered the rare trifecta versus the Bucs on Sunday.
Block... Scoop... Score... Check this one out. You never know when you might see something like this again.
Good for Isaiah Rodgers. He was on his way to being one of the goats in this one. And, we don't mean 'goat' in a good way. Heck, he still might be by the time this is over.
He pushed the defender into Cooper DeJean on the fair-catch attempt. That resulted in a fumble and an eventual Bucs score. It's good to see he didn't pack it in after the mistake.
Philly is in a dogfight, one they have trailed in since the game began. Things are tightening in a tough contest at Raymond James Stadium.
