3 Memories from Malcolm Jenkins career with Philadelphia Eagles

1. ’27’ flips Foxborough and Gillette Stadium on its ear.

Now that Tom Brady‘s amazing run with the New England Patriots is over, as football fans, we all have our memories of what he meant to us and the game we love.

If you’re an Eagles fan, the ‘Philly Special’ will stick with you forever, but one of the most satisfying moments of Tom Brady during Super Bowl 52 in that red, white, and blue jersey will always be seeing NBC’s shot of him sitting on the turf looking off into space with his back to the line of scrimmage as the Eagles celebrated the most famous strip-sack in the game’s history.

That’s followed by watching him misjudge and drop the ball as he played the role of Nick Foles in New England’s version of Philly’s most famous trick play.

The Eagles’ first Super Bowl title came with a victory over the greatest coach, quarterback, and dynasty in NFL history, but you can argue that the groundwork for this monumental upset came when Philly learned that this was possible when a less-talented version of the ‘Birds’ walked into Foxborough and upset a New England team that they weren’t better than.

The victory was highlighted by a blocked punt that was returned for a touchdown, a Darren Sproles punt return that he took to the house, and Malcolm Jenkins’ interception off of a deflection and his 99-yard, coast-to-coast return. There isn’t an Eagles fan on the planet that doesn’t remember where he or she was when it happened.
