Incredible scenes as 150kg giant Jordan Davis seals game for Super Bowl champions
Jordan Davis blocked a field-goal attempt by Joshua Karty on the final play of the game and returned it for a touchdown to secure a win for the Eagles on Monday (AEST).
It was Philadelphia's second blocked kick of the fourth quarter and the 60-yard score from the giant defensive tackle completed a dramatic 33-26 victory.
Los Angeles led 26-21 midway through the fourth when Jalen Carter blocked Karty's 36-yard try and Jalen Hurts then led the Super Bowl champions on a 17-play, 91-yard drive for the go-ahead score.

That left 1:48 on the clock for Matthew Stafford, who led the Rams into position for Karty's 44-yard attempt with three seconds remaining in the game.
Davis - who stands at 198cm tall and weighs 150kg - instead wedged his way through, knocked the ball down, scooped it and rumbled to the end zone.

He was mobbed by teammates as fans at Lincoln Financial Field erupted in celebration.
Philadelphia slogged through a listless first half and trailed 26-7 in the third quarter after Stafford's second touchdown pass of the game. Karty had already kicked four field goals for the Rams, who lost a tight NFC playoff game to the Eagles last season.
Enter last season's Super Bowl MVP Hurts and one heck of a special teams effort as the home team found their mojo and a bit of clutch playmaking when Carter — recently fined by the NFL for an opening-night spitting incident — came up with the first block.
He was flagged for taunting, pushing the Eagles back to their own nine-yard line.
On the go-ahead drive, Hurts shook off his malaise and found receivers largely ignored over the first two-and-a-half games of the season.

Hurts hit AJ Brown for 25 yards, DeVonta Smith for 10 and then the big one - Brown shook off a defender for a 23-yard gain.
Hurts found Smith for the go-ahead, 4-yard TD on fourth-and-goal to complete Philly's rally from a 19-point deficit.
Saquon Barkley rushed for only 13 yards in the first half and finished with 46 - his third subpar game in a row after coming off a season in which he rushed for 2005 yards.
