1.Week 13: A 100 yard interception return to the house 

If Malcolm Jenkins never did anything else in the Eagles’ colors, he’d forever be remembered for this one. Patriots quarterback Tom Brady was marching his team down the field to put them into the end zone, and then it happened. A pass was deflected, it ricocheted into the air, Jenkins corralled it and sprinted 100 yards in the other direction for a touchdown.

It was at that moment that, as an Eagles fan, you said “this team can actually win this game”. It was at that moment that you remembered why you loved this team in the first place. It was at that moment that you wondered where this team had been all year. The answer is simple. A team that had long given up on their coach played for each other and the results were extraordinary. Now with a new head coach, a unified and happy locker room and homegrown Eagles growing into the leaders and growing up together, the future looks bright. We’ll all be glued to the TV again in 2016 to see what happens.
