Clutch punt block by TJ Edwards sets up game-winner for Eagles
It looked like the Eagles were going to drop another heartbreaker, but TJ Edwards had other plans
As the Panthers were in the process of punting the ball back to Philadelphia, Edwards had a great rush and blocked the punt which set the Eagles up deep in Carolina territory.

After that play, quarterback Jalen Hurts did it himself and scored a rushing touchdown off an RPO play. It occurred with less than 3 minutes remaining in the contest and then Philly also converted the 2-point conversion as well to go up 21-18.
Carolina got the ball back after that with a shot to either tie or win the game but Sam Darnold threw a game-sealing interception.
The Panthers dropped to 3-2 after this loss while the Eagles improved to 2-3. It gets Philadelphia back into the NFC East race a little bit as they will be hoping the Giants take down the Cowboys later on Sunday.
