As Jordan Davis sprinted down the field, ball in hand with the crowd going crazy, he didn't know how far he was going to make it.

The defensive tackle had just iced the game by blocking a 44-yard field goal attempt that would have given the Rams a two-point win at Lincoln Financial Field. Instead, Davis was the hero in the Eagles' 33-26 win, and he ended the game with the bang by returning the blocked kick 61 yards for a touchdown.

"When I turned around, everybody was running towards me," Davis said with a smile postgame. "All I could do was just stand there and wait for them to come because if I tried to run away, I was going to get moshed."

Davis had the big-man touchdown of all big-man touchdowns. He reached a top speed of 18.59 miles per hour, according to Next Gen Stats, the fastest speed by a player more than 330 pounds since at least 2017. He joked after the game that he hasn't run that fast since the NFL Combine.

But Davis isn't as much of a big man as he once was. He came into Training Camp down 26 pounds, and he has been transparent this season about his weight loss and how it has benefited him.

The transition started midway through last season, and those benefits were on display in the playoffs, but now Davis is fully showing what he can do.

"My thing is just being consistent, stacking days, whether that's in practice or the game, stacking, being consistent," he said. "I don't want this to be a flash play. I don't want to be a flash-play player. I want to be a 'He's an every-down guy. He has the ability to stop the run, stop the pass.' And then, at the end of the day, we let the chips fall where they lie.

"I just want to make sure that I'm available on the field. And my role coming into this year was higher. They asked more of me. And you have to work a little bit harder to answer the call. You come in, and I feel like I came in in shape during camp and just progressing there through the season. It's what they asked of me. I want to do whatever it takes to win. And if that's required of me, I'm willing to do it."

To Davis' point, that blocked field goal wasn't just a flash play for him this season. He constantly made an impact over the first two weeks, and he had arguably the best game of his NFL career against the Rams.

His third-down sack where he chased Matthew Stafford to the sideline forced a Rams punt, and he came up with a run stop on 4th-and-1 to give the Eagles the ball back. Every week Davis has raised the bar.

"The shape that he's in and how he is, I've seen him walk around with his shirt off a lot more now, which he should," Sirianni said. "It's good, and he just worked his butt off. You saw in Training Camp that something like this would happen, and he's played good football through the first three weeks."

The Eagles had a key blocked field goal earlier in the fourth quarter, when Jalen Carter swatted Joshua Karty's 36-yard attempt that would have given the Rams an eight-point lead. Davis said that throughout the game he got a good gauge on Karty's angle, and that put him in position to close things out as time expired.

"A lot of people look at a field goal block as just another play, just another down, put your hands up, get off the field, check a box," Davis said. "But the way we talk about it on sideline, we knew, especially on his last kick, we knew his angle.

"We knew his launch point when he's at the 30-yard line, somewhere around there. We just hit the gap, put our hands up at the right time, and then I seen the ball on the ground."

From there, Davis' instincts took over. He knew the correct football play would be to get down and end the game, but he also saw green grass in front of him.

Sirianni laughed postgame when asked if he wanted Davis to go down. He said he will bring it up in the film room this week, but in a game when the Eagles trailed by as many as 19 points, what better way could it have ended?

"It will be on the tape to say, 'Hey, probably go down in this scenario,'" Sirianni said with a smile, "but he'll probably get Play of the Game for that play." — Written by Matt Ryan
