7. LeGarrette Blount slices through the Chargers.

Who cares if this guy is 30 years old? LeGarrette Blount finds a way to make Eagles fans fall in love with him every week. In Los Angeles, he stole the show, and what a show it was. The StubHub Center was transformed into Lincoln Financial Field when Philly traveled west a basically played a glorified home game. Then every fan from the “left coast” that was in attendance got a treat when they got a heavy dose of LeGarrette Blount.

Just watch for yourself.

8. Kenjon Barner flips field position.

Here’s another one of those moments when real life id better than a Hollywood movie. Kenjon Barner, who was released by the Eagles, re-signs with the team thanks to injuries, most notably Darren Sproles. Then, in his first game back, he makes one of the best special teams plays all season. This stuff can’t be made up.

Take a look at that one.

That one set up a touchdown by Zach Ertz. The entire Eagles fan base is all smiles. Good for you, Kenjon.

9. Torrey Smith finds the end zone.

We mentioned that prize acquisition Torrey Smith earlier. Well, unfortunately, that’s one of those moves everyone’s still hoping pans out. 2017 has been challenging as Smith tries to adjust to his new surroundings, but everyone’s been keeping him upbeat. Then, against the Arizona Cardinals, Smith finally found the end zone.

Yes, there’s footage of that one as well.

Mr. Smith definitely deserved that one, but his play was overshadowed slightly by another wide receiver who’s turned things around.
