The Philadelphia Eagles are cooking at home in the second quarter in the NFC Championship Game against the Minnesota Vikings. Late in the first half, Nick Foles found Alshon Jeffery on a 53-yard bomb for six points, though we’re still trying to figure out how he was on his feet when he delivered the ball.
Just watch the veteran evade pressure multiple times before launching a dime to Jeffery, who had broken wide open down the right side of the field.

This touchdown gave the Eagles a 21-7 lead. It’s pretty remarkable considering the Vikings had all the early momentum, but a brilliant pick-six by Patrick Robinson flipped the script, and it’s been Philly ever since.
