Miracle at the Meadowlands - DeSean Jackson

👏 DeSean Jackson will officially retire with the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, and will be the #Eagles honorary captain #DeSeanJackson Became the first player in NFL history to make Pro Bowl at two positions – kick returner and wide receiver. He was a 3× Pro Bowl (2009, 2010, 2013) who has the NFL record for Career touchdowns of 60+ yards (26) and Career touchdowns of 80+ yards (5, tied) “DeSean Jackson was a dynamic playmaker who captivated Eagles fans with his game-breaking speed, unique skill set, and explosive play,” said Jeffrey Lurie, Philadelphia Eagles Chairman and CEO. “What made DeSean truly stand out during his accomplished 15-year career was his ability to make miraculous plays look routine. We all remember him scooping up the football in New York on that fateful evening in December 2010 and veering his way into the end zone for what is now famously referred to as the ‘Miracle at the New Meadowlands.’ We are thrilled to welcome DeSean back and look forward to celebrating his official retirement as an Eagle on Sunday when he serves as our Honorary Captain of the Game.” Jackson’s most memorable play came on December 19, 2010, when the Eagles faced off against the division-rival New York Giants at MetLife Stadium. Down 31-10 in the fourth quarter, the Eagles remarkably went on to score 21 unanswered points to tie the game, 31-31. With 12 seconds remaining, the Giants were forced to punt from their own 35-yard line. Jackson, the return man, secured the football off the turf and raced 65 yards to the end zone as time expired. The win propelled the Eagles to the top of the NFC East – eventually winning the division – and marked the first time in NFL history that a game had ended on a walk-off punt return. #deseanjackson #miracle #meadowlands #miracleatthemeadowlands #newyork #giants #Eagles #eagles #nfl #philly #philadelphia #football #philadelphiaeagles #probowl #djax #la #cal #california
